PSY 201 Mind and Behavior |
3 Credits |
This course is an introductory level course on human
mind and behavior, designed to provide
an overview of scientific psychology. The major
goal of this course is to introduce theoretical
perpectives as well as the empirical findings in
psychology. In doing so, the course also aims
to highlight both the interaction of psychological sciences
with other allied disciplines and the impact
of psychological findings in applied fields. In this regard,
the course will present an oppurtunity for
students with different backgrounds to explore links
between their own fields of interest and study
and psychology.

PSY 322 Lifespan Psychological Science |
3 Credits |
This course aims at providing students with an
understanding of how life events experienced at an
early time point shape behavior years later. It examines
widely-held but scarcely tested assumptions
of psychological theories on long-term effects on behavior,
such as the effects of early development on
adult life outcomes or changes in behavior from early to
late adulthood. The course introduces existing long-term
longitudinal studies, provides examples from
popular hypotheses about long-term effects on behavior,
surveys evidence on whether these hypotheses
are supported and if yes, discusses which mechanisms
are responsible for producing these long-term effects.

shape the choices EEG researchers make when
designing their experiments according to their
research questions. The second part focuses on data
analysis and interpretation of results. Students learn
preprocessing, event-related and steady- state
potentials, time-frequency power analyses in both
univariate and multivariate domains. They acquire not
only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills.
