Professional Issues in Psychology There are no specific prerequisites, but the course is only open to psychology graduate students (exceptions can be made with my specific permission). The focus of the discussions and content will be slanted toward the cognitive end of the department. We will cover topics including: the journal editorial and review process, poster and presentation style, types of jobs in academics, post-docs vs. faculty positions, job applications, job interviews, vitas, and other general issues in psychology. As much as possible, we will try to gain hands-on experience with each of these topics (e.g., by producing a vita, interpreting actual manuscript reviews, doing mock interviews, etc.). Discussion in the course will be guided by student questions and interests.

Topic: Change Detection and Visual Memory This seminar will cover recent advances in the study of change blindness as well as the early foundations of research on change detection.

As much as possible, we will focus on experimental approaches to studying change detection and memory, and the specific readings and contents will be guided in part by the interests of students taking the course. An undergraduate-level knowledge of cognition or perception would be helpful, but no specific background knowledge is required. Requirements include attendance, participation, and a final paper (a research proposal). Students must register for 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 credit hours.
