PSYC 1106/1107: This is the introduction to psychology course which consists of a study of complex behaviour, with particular emphasis on methods for studying humans. The first half covers the biological basis of behaviour (central nervous system, sensory processes, perception, learning, memory) and the second half covers the social basis of behaviour
(personality, human development, language, and psychopathology).
(personality, human development, language, and psychopathology).
PSYC 3707: This course surveys the principal concepts and findings concerning human language. Topics discussed include language structures, perception and understanding of speech, and the development of linguistic ability.
PSYC 3716: This cognition course surveys current research and theory on knowledge and thought. Topics include representation, reasoning, problem solving, decision-making, comparative cognition and development of cognition.
PSYC 4105: An experimental or other empirical investigation (such as psychometric study), including a report, on a psychological topic - to be authorized and supervised by the Department.
This "Student's Investigation" course is the thesis course for honor's students.

Sensory Processes
PSYC 2906: This course consists of the scientific study of how organisms, especially humans, obtain information about their internal and external environments. Topics include structure and function of sensory systems, and experimental and psychophysical methods.

Perception
PSYC 2907: This course consists of the study of perceptual processing of stimuli received from the external and internal environments, including theories of how experience influences the organization of information. Topics include object perception, perceptual constancies, and distortions.

Advanced Research Analysis
PSYC 3286: Students analyze research reports from the psychological literature in a wide range of fields with the intent of critically assessing research design and its importance in influencing research results. Students conduct an intensive review of literature in a field of interest.

Behavioural Neurobiology
PSYC 3507: The precise study of neuroanatomical details, neurochemistry and neuroelectricity. Comparisons of human and rat brains are discussed in terms of both gross and specific behavioural patterns. Emphasis is placed upon acquiring sufficient information to allow a more profound and versatile prediction of normal and abnormal behaviour.
