Psychopathology

Diane Chambless/Dean Cruess

This course will cover fundamental topics in psychopathology, with an emphasis on etiological and diagnostic issues, in the context of current nosology (Research Diagnostic Criteria, DSM-IV, etc.).  Theoretical models of psychopathological phenomena and major syndromes (e.g., affective disorders, personality disorders, substance abuse) will be discussed, with reference to relevant empirical findings. Implications for treatment will also be addressed.  Fulfills the "Individuals and Groups" requirement.

Learning

Robert Rescorla

Course meets September 8 through October 24.

*.50 c.u.  A discussion of basic learning processes, particularly as illustrated in nonhuman organisms.  Topics include how organisms learn about events themselves
 (e.g., habituation), how they learn relations among events (e.g., Pavlovian conditioning), and how they learn relations between their own behavior and events (e.g., instrumental learning).  Emphasis is placed upon current data and theories.  Fulfills the "Mind"requirement.

Language

Lila Gleitman/John Trueswell/Delphine Dahan

The question for this proseminar concerns the nature of human language.  The topic of language has been extensively studied within psychology and linguistics and thus is in a quitetechnically developed, and therefore, interesting state.  Thus, beyond its inherently intriguing subject matter, recent linguisticand psycholinguistic theories are of potential interest to anyone who wants to investigate human cognition.  The proseminar has three main topics:  (1) What is a language, (2) How do
 humans use it (i.e.,  how do they speak and understand), and (3) How is a language learned.  Under (1) we consider the theory of language, including phonological,
morphological, sentential, and discourse structures, and how these levels of organization contribute to "meaning."  This includes a primitive introduction to syntactic theory.  Under (2), we consider speech perception and production, machinery for storing and accessing the mental lexicon, sentence and discourse processing, and abnormal language.  Under (3), we consider language development (and dissolution under normal and abnormal circumstances and in normal and abnormal brains.  Format is mainly lecture/discussion.  There will be a midterm and a final exam. Fulfills the "Mind" requirement.
