Group Process and Facilitation is a 2-semester, 4- or 5-credit course sequence. In semester 1, students learn background knowledge and skills related to: advanced reflective listening, group processes and management, leadership and facilitation. Students also participate in their own Hoos Connected group. In semester 2, students are eligible to co-facilitate 1-2 Hoos Connected group(s) and also receive weekly group supervision.

Learning, Emotions and Motivation will be explored from animal models of clinical conditions, historical case studies in humans of brain-derived emotional disturbances, and current innovations to treat brain disorders. These important discoveries will be presented for students to understand underlying biological and neural mechanisms that mediate adaptive changes to motivate healthy behavior.

Topics include psychological and linguistic theory; experimental and empirical studies of linguistic usage; development of language in infants and children; cross-cultural studies of linguistic usage; and the biology of language.

Introduces basic concepts in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neurochemistry needed for an understanding of brain and behavior. PSYC 3210 is recommended.

The course explores the essential role of memory in everyday life to reveal how successful behaviors are coordinated and executed by information stored in one of six memory systems. The seminar presents a comprehensive understanding of neural processes underlying learning, mechanisms involved in encoding learned material into memory and the events that permit successful recall of life's experiences to interact effectively in the environment.

We will discuss basic concepts in genetics/epigenetics and the role these molecular modifications play in behavior and disorder. We will evaluate empirical papers and learn the molecular techniques described within them. Completion of this course should result in increased knowledge of the use of genome level data in psychology and biology.

The goal of this course is to familiarize you with ideas about empathy, as rooted in basic neuroscience. Topics covered include the separate neural networks underlying emotional versus cognitive empathy, empathy assays designed to measure theory of mind/prosocial/empathetic behavior in humans and animals, and synaptic plasticity. We will investigate creativity and self-regulation as ways to enhance empathy in humans.

This course aims to discuss the state-of-the-art in the large field of cognitive aging and the main lifespan predictors that lead to healthy aging.

Longitudinal data analytical techniques will be introduced to investigate sustainability issues.
