PSYCH 245A: Understanding Racial and Ethnic Identity Development (AFRICAAM 245, CSRE 245, EDUC 245)

This seminar will explore the impact and relative salience of racial/ethnic identity on select issues including: discrimination, social justice, mental health and academic performance. Theoretical perspectives on identity development will be reviewed, along with research on other social identity variables, such as social class, gender and regional identifications. New areas within this field such as the complexity of multiracial identity status and intersectional invisibility will also be discussed. Though the class will be rooted in psychology and psychological models of identity formation, no prior exposure to psychology is assumed and other disciplines-including cultural studies, feminist studies, and literature-will be incorporated into the course materials. Students will work with community partners to better understand the nuances of racial and ethnic identity development in different contexts. (Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center)
Terms: Spr | Units: 3-5

PSYCH 246: Cognitive and Neuroscience Friday Seminar

Participant presentations. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: graduate standing in psychology or neuroscience program.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1 | Repeatable for credit
Instructors: Wagner, A. (PI)

PSYCH 249B: Topics in Neurodiversity: Design Thinking Approaches (PSYC 223B)

The course provides essential background about neurodiversity, the design thinking process and the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to guide students in developing projects that maximize the potential of neurodiversity. Through case studies, field trips, guest speakers, and community engagement, students will explore approaches to maximizing inclusivity in realms such as education, employment, community and beyond. Students will use their knowledge to design and develop (or revising and enhance) processes, systems, experiences and/or products to maximize inclusivity and the potential of neurodiverse individuals. Based on student's interests and areas of focus, projects may include digital tool development such as app concept and design, redesign of standard processes such as job interviews/ candidate evaluations, design and development of physical products or spaces such as sensory-sensitive dorm rooms, "stim tools" and more. Students have the option to attend Monday classes or Wednesday classes for 2 units or attend both Monday and Wednesday classes for 4 units. This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students in all schools. Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center.

PSYCH 253: Measurement and the Study of Change in Social Science Research (COMM 369)

This course is a survey of methodological issues associated with the measurement of psychological constructs and processes of change. General areas to be covered include use of latent variable models (structural equation modeling), classical test theory, generalizability theory, principal component analysis, factor analysis, item response theory and how these models facilitate and/or constrain the study of change processes. Students will work through application/implementation of the models through hands-on analysis of simulated and empirical data, acquire experiences in the formulation of research questions and study designs that are appropriately tethered to the different theoretical perspectives invoked by the different models.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

PSYCH 257: Affective Neuroscience

Theory and research. Comparative and human research approaches map affective function to neuroanatomical and neurochemical substrates. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Knutson, B. (PI)

PSYCH 258: Graduate Seminar in Social Psychology Research

For students who are already or are planning to become involved in research on social construal and the role that it plays in a variety of phenomena, notably the origin and escalation of conflict.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1-3 | Repeatable for credit
Instructors: Markus, H. (PI)

PSYCH 263: Cognitive Neuroscience: Vision

The course will combine lectures, in-depth discussions of primary literature and computer tutorials to develop key concepts in the neuroscience of vision and how these concepts have been built on to understand the neural basis of higher cognition. Topics include optimal observer models, heuristics, Fourier analysis, LN models, normalization, signal detection, drift diffusion, efficient coding, Bayesian inference, visual search, metamers, texture models, population coding and recurrent dynamics. Familiarity with Python (or willingness to self-learn) at the level of being able to plot data and write equations from papers to simulate key aspects of vision models will be needed for computer tutorials. Advanced undergraduates may enroll in this course with instructor consent (see pre-requisites in syllabus).
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Gardner, J. (PI)

PSYCH 265: Social Psychology and Social Change (EDUC 371)

The course is intended as an exploration of the major ideas, theories, and findings of social psychology and their applied status. Special attention will be given to historical issues, classic experiments, and seminal theories, and their implications for topics relevant to education. Contemporary research will also be discussed. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students from other disciplines are welcome, but priority for enrollment will be given to graduate students. In order to foster a vibrant, discussion-based class, enrollment will be capped at 20 students. Interested students should enroll in the class through simple enroll or axess. There will be an application process on the first day of class if there is overwhelming interest.
Terms: Spr | Units: 2-3
