This course will review what is known about the biological, cognitive, and social development of adolescents in our society.

The program is a three-semester course sequence. Training begins in the spring semester with PSYC 496 CCP. During this time students learn the fundamentals of interpersonal communication. Through demonstrations, readings, discussions, role playing, and video-taped sessions, students learn communication skills necessary for helping others. Students currently sophomores or juniors from any program or department at UIUC may apply.
37537	Lecture	FD3	12:30PM -1:45PM	TR	29 Psychology Building	Dolcos, F	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/13-05/01/13 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Emotion, Cognition & The Brain Section Info: Emotions can influence virtually any aspect of our cognition, from early stages of processing during initial perception and experiencing of an emotional situation (such as a romantic dinner or a stressful exam) to later stages of processing that will eventually influence our memories of the events, along with the decisions to pursue or avoid similar situations. Emotion processing, however, is also susceptible to cognitive influences, as we may also be able to control our emotional responses, decide whether to embrace or avoid engaging in or experiencing emotional situations, and/or decide whether to let our decisions be driven by emotions or not. Importantly, these emotion-cognition interactions are critical for adjusting our behavior in social contexts in normal circumstances (for instance, by controlling our emotional reactions if emotional display is not appropriate), and their dysfunction is associated with clinical conditions such as depression and anxiety. This class will discuss key concepts in the emotion literature, as well as current topics in the literature on emotion-cognition interactions, with a focus on the associated neural correlates. Emphasis will also be put on understanding these issues from a practical perspective, based on examples from/with applicability to real-life situations. Undergraduate students register for this section. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
