Beck, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Section Title: Consciousness Section Info: Examination of the scientific study of consciousness, with topics including (but not limited to): the role of attention in visual awareness, neural correlates of consciousness, and perception without awareness. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
37740	Online Discussion	DIV	9:30AM -11:20AM	W	n.a.	Aber, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Diversity Seminar Section Info: This seminar focuses on issues of diversity and multiculturalism and their impact on theory, research, and practice in clinical and community psychology. Seminar topics are wide ranging and presentations vary in format from lectures to workshops. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
52683	Online Lecture	FLD	2:00PM -3:50PM	T	n.a.	Dolcos, F	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Topics in Affective Neurosci Section Info: Description: Emotion is a double-edged sword - in some circumstances the enhanced significance of emotional stimuli can benefit cognitive processes (e.g. better memory for emotional events), while in others it can hinder them and cause detrimental effects on behavior (e.g., increased emotional distractibility). On the other hand, emotion processing is also susceptible to cognitive influences (e.g., cognitive control of emotion). Despite their relevance for understanding brain function in both healthy and clinical conditions, the neural mechanisms mediating the interactions between emotion and cognition are not well understood. This seminar will discuss current topics in the literature on emotion-cognition interactions, with a focus on the associated neural correlates. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
37749	Online Discussion	KL	ARRANGED	n.a.	n.a.	Leskis, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Section Info: Applied Psychological Assessment In this seminar, students will be provided with experience in applied psychological assessment including formal psychological testing with children, adolescents, and young adults. Readings, observations, discussions, and case reviews will focus on conceptual, practical, and ethical issues inherent in assessment including the interpretation and presentation of results. Flexible and interactive approaches to contextualized evaluation will be emphasized, including non-traditional, and virtual methods. Seminars will be conducted via ZOOM, or in person at the Illinois NeuroBehavioral Assessment Laboratory (INBAL) located at 301 N. Neil St., Suite 210, in downtown Champaign. All in person meetings will be in accordance with CDC Social Distancing Guidelines. Please contact instructor for more details. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
47524	Online Discussion	VC	9:00AM -10:50AM	R	n.a.	Cervantes Botero, V	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Probabilistic Contextuality Section Info: Contextuality is a property of systems of random variables as they are encountered in problems from quantum mechanics to psychology to social organizations. It characterizes the ways to reconcile observations across varying contexts, such as several experimental conditions or different studies aimed at verifying the predictions of a theory. This seminar will present a systematic introduction to the notion of contextuality, its mathematical theory, and some of its applications. Some familiarity with probability theory and linear algebra is desirable; students who have taken PSYC 506 or PSYC 594 likely have sufficient background. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
70023	Online Discussion	WH2	ARRANGED	n.a.	n.a.	Heller, W	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 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.
