1/2(3L)

The application of psychological theories to the understanding of criminal behaviour. An overview of assessment and treatment issues as these apply to specific types of criminals (e.g., sexual offenders, psychopathic offenders) will also be provided.

Note: PSY 222 or 223 or 257 is recommended before taking this course.

PSY 233.3
Statistical Methods in Behavioural Sciences
1/2(3L-1P)

The role of statistics in research including: statistical concepts and models, estimation, simple tests of significance, linear regression and correlation, and introduction to analysis of variance. The laboratory component will consist of training in the utilization of statistical software.

Note: Students who wish to use this course toward an Arts & Science credit should first refer to Statistics Course Regulations in the Arts & Science section of the Calendar.

PSY 234.3
Statistical Methods in Behavioural Sciences
1/2(3L-1P)
Prerequisite(s): PSY 233. Four-year and Honours students should take this concurrently with PSY 235.

A continuation of the role of statistics in research covering methods of analysis of variance including cross-classification, introduction to multiple comparisons, factorials, multiple regression and covariance. The laboratory component will consist of training in the utilization of statistical software.

Note: Students who wish to use this course toward an Arts & Science credit should first refer to Statistics Course Regulations in the Arts & Science section of the Calendar.

PSY 235.3 (Formerly 372.6)
Research Methods and Design
1/2 (3L-1P)
Prerequisite(s): PSY 233. Four-year and Honours students should take PSY 234 concurrently.

Introduces students to both experimental and non-experimental research methods and designs used in psychology. The course focuses on the interplay between research questions, theory, the selection of appropriate research procedures and resulting conclusions. The laboratory component will consist of practical training and application of the concepts discussed in class.

Note: Students with credit for PSY 232 or 372 cannot take this course for credit.

PSY 242.3
Physiological Psychology
1/2(3L)

An introduction to the language, techniques, concepts and general subject matter of physiological psychology. Topics will include: sensory processes, motor systems, the brain, memory and learning. This core knowledge will be useful to those wanting an exposure to the biological study of behaviour, or to those wanting a primer for more advanced study.

PSY 243.3 (Formerly 244)
Evolutionary Psychology
1/2(3L)

The human mind and the behaviour that emerges as products of the mind, will be considered as the outcome of a large number of adaptations brought about by natural selection. The possibility of, and evidence for, a universal human nature at the level of evolved psychological mechanisms will be presented. The evolutionary significance of altruism, cooperation and conflict, morality, deceit, self-deception and illness will be examined.

Note: Students with credit for PSY 244 cannot take this course for credit.

PSY 246.3
Introduction to Human Neuropsychology
1/2(3L)

An introduction to research and theory on the topic of human brain function. Topics include research techniques and strategies, developmental neuropsychology, localization and lateralization of function, recovery of function, and deficits associated with lesions of the neocortex.

PSY 252.3
Perceptual Processes
1/2(3L)

A brief survey of the principles that have emerged from the empirical investigation of perception, with special reference to vision and hearing. An examination of the factors which underlie such fundamental features of behaviour as the perception of objects and of three-dimensional space and the maintenance of perceptual constancy.

PSY 253.3
Introduction to Cognitive Psychology
1/2(3L)

An introduction to research and theory on the topic of human cognitive functioning. The course will explore how humans attend to, encode and remember their experiences, communicate using both written and spoken language, and engage in higher order processes such as reasoning, problem solving, and decision making.

PSY 255.3
Human Memory
1/2(3L)

An introduction to research and theory on the structures and processes involved in human memory. Topics include the evidence for distinct sensory, short-term, and long-term memory stores, the format of representation in memory, and the determinants of effective memory performance.
