Cross-listed: PSY 205
Prerequisites: STT 212 and one of the BCS core courses (151, 152, 153)
Offered: Spring
This course gives students laboratory experience in conducting experiments on perceptual and cognitive development, language
development, and in using computational and neuroscientific methods for studying mechanisms of development, learning, and
experiential change. A large part of the course will focus on methods for testing human infants and young children, and will
provide observation of these experimental methods in the lab as well as opportunities for individual projects. Portions of the
course will also provide students with exposure to neural and computational approaches to the study of mechanisms of development
and learning.
Preparation for this course: Students enrolling in this course are expected to have an introductory background in Development,
a basic familiarity with neural mechanisms, and a course in statistical methods and design. Students with this background obtained
through courses other than those prerequisites listed above may consult the instructor for permission to enroll.
