Cog Psych Research Methods
Section Info:
Title: Cognitive Psychology Research Methods: Cognitive psychology relies on a range of empirical approaches that support inference about mental processes. In this course, students will explore behavioral research methods, including reaction times and eye-tracking measures; neuroimaging techniques (e.g., EEG, fMRI) that link brain activity to cognition; and computational modeling as a tool for simulating cognitive mechanisms. Emphasis will be placed on experimental design and statistical analyses (e.g., linear mixed-effects models) essential for drawing valid conclusions. Students will also engage with key topics in research ethics, open science practices, and scientific writing. By the end of the course, students will develop both practical and theoretical skills for designing, analyzing, and interpreting research in cognitive psychology. This course will meet with PSYC 593 CRM and EPSY 590 CRM.

Section Title:
Language, Brain, and Tech
Section Info:
Title: Language, Brain, and Technology. This cross-disciplinary course explores how cognitive, neural, and computational approaches inform our understanding of language processing, and how emerging technologies can support language learning and education. Topics include the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying language comprehension and reading; the influence of specific languages and writing systems on these processes; language processing across diverse populations; neural research methods used in language studies; applications of generative AI and large language models in modeling human language processes; and the use of AI and immersive technologies to enhance language learning. Students will gain an integrated understanding of how psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence intersect to advance both research and educational practices in language. This course will meet with EPSY 590 LBT and PSYC 593 LBT.
