CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
55775	Lecture-Discussion	DIV	9:00AM -10:50AM	T	708 Psychology Building	Aber, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Credit: 4 hours Section Title: ClinComm Diversity & Inclusion Section Info: Examines issues of human diversity in clinical and community psychology through a variety of theoretical frames with emphasis on history, power and privilege. Aims to increase awareness of and capacity to think critically about the relevance of diversity for clinical and community theory, research, intervention and professional roles. Reviews theory and research that challenges dominant narratives, social norms and structures that underlie intentional and unintentional harms or bias.
46085	Lecture-Discussion	JM	9:00AM -11:50AM	M	608 Psychology Building	Montag, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Language, Reading & Cognition Section Info: Explores the relationship between reading and various aspects of language processing and everyday cognitive processes. Topics will include the similarities and differences between written and spoken language, and how each are learned and processed. This course will use reading as a springboard to explore expertise and experience effects on the brain and cognition, and will explore far-reaching consequences of reading on cognitive domains often studied independently of reading and text exposure. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
47780	Lecture-Discussion	JW	1:00PM -3:50PM	T	815 Psychology Building	Willits, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Semantic Memory Section Info: Examination of data and theories relating to semantic memory, including behavioral, neurobiological, developmental, and computational perspectives on semantic memory representations and processes Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
51546	Lecture-Discussion	MR2	10:00AM -11:50AM	T	Location Pending	Regenwetter, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Section Title: Modeling Heterogeneity Section Info: This course will be taught in Rm 185. What is noise in scientific data and how could it come about? Consider an analogy: A bunch of pianists playing many pianos at once can generate a cacophony of sounds because, even though they all play the same Bach fugue, every one of them makes countless mistakes. Alternatively, each single pianist might play flawlessly, but switch around different Bach pieces at random moments. What is “noise” in psychological data? Are we all “playing the same tune?” Is a given person consistently playing one tune? Is the noise caused by “mistaken” behaviors? Is it inaccurate measurement? Or rather, are we playing different tunes and/or changing tunes, while, all along playing tunes of the same composer? Psychological science faces the formidable task of having to determine simultaneously what is deterministic (constant and same), while also determining what is probabilistic (uncertain and variable). These questions arise both between and within individuals. Students will learn about state-of-the-art modeling and order-constrained statistical inference. Starting from relevant work in decision making research, the course considers heterogeneity of behavior broadly. Students will be encouraged to carry out a potentially publishable project using custom-software (or their own code). The course requires minimal prior knowledge but a willingness to think deeply. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
70981	Lecture	SF2	ARRANGED	n.a.	Psychology Building	Friberg, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Human Functional Neuroanatomy Section Info: The course will cover the human brain from functional specialization in dedicated regions to higher-order information processing in distributed networks. Student-led activities throughout the semester will facilitate long-lasting learning of the brain’s structure-function relationship. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
39832	Lecture-Discussion	WH	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Heller, W	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Section Title: Neuropsychological Assessment Section Info: Topic: Neuropsychological Assessment of Children, Adolescents, and Adults This course will provide students with in-depth experience in comprehensive neuropsychological assessment for children, adolescents and adults. Students will have the opportunity to learn and master a wide variety of tests and measures used to assess cognitive, emotion, and social function. Readings, case conferences, and discussions will focus on analysis and interpretation of testing data and other sources of information. Cases generally involve individuals with complex neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric issues which intersect with social, emotional, and environmental challenges. Students attending this seminar will be exposed to hypothesis building and testing, measurement strategies and interpretation of data, and use of the literature to investigate and determine fundamental neuropsychological mechanisms and their interactions with other factors in explaining functional impairments. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
