Psycholinguistics

This
course will cover fundamental issues in the study of human language:
its use by adults and its acquisition by children. 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 it learned.
Under (1) we consider the theory of language, including phonological,
morphological, syntactic and discourse considerations and how these
levels of organization contribute to reference. Under (2), we consider
speech perception and production, machinery for storing and accessing
the mental lexicon, sentence and discourse processing. Under (3), we
consider language development and how it proceeds normally and
abnormally depending on environmental and maturational variation.
Format is mainly lecture/discussion. There will be a midterm and a
final exam. (Fulfills
the "Mind" requirement)

Basic
Neuroscience

Lori
Flanagan-Cato

*.50 c.u. - Meets
entire semester. This course will provide
a foundation in the biological basis of
behavior, and is intended for non-neuroscience graduate students. The topics
will include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, and systems
neuroscience. Although most of the material will focus on animal
models, the topics will be related to mental health. The goal is to
familiarize students with CNS organization, mechanisms of psychoactive
drugs, functional roles of specific brain regions, and standard animal
models for studying CNS diseases.

This seminar will examine the theory and practice of fMRI
experimental design and fMRI data analysis. We will read current
papers on these topics with the aim of understanding the theoretical
basis behind commonly used design and analysis procedures.

Cross-listed with INSC 576 and
PHRM 550
(This
course may be used as a Psyc
709) - Neuropsychopharmacology provides an overview
of the
neurobiology of major neurppsychiatric illnesses. The course is
divided into four modules related to behavioral disorders or
disciplines: The specific modules covered are: affective
disorders, substance abuse, schizophrenia and behavioral
genetics. The modules present material that integrates clinical
and basic neurobiology approaches to research of complex behavioral
disorders. Each module covers a specific area using the following
format: clinical features basic and clinical neuroscience studies
relevant to understanding the pathobiology and mechanisms of treatment
of each set of disorders case presentation or outside speakers.

Irwin Lucki, 3-3305).

Language & Communication
Sciences Research Seminar. This weekly
research seminar is designed to provide an intellectualgathering
for those students interested in the interdisciplinary study of
language and communication. It is our hope that this seminar will
increase intellectual interaction among students from different
disciplines who are all nevertheless engaged in the study of language
and communication. Sessions will alternate between what we call
From-Within and From-Without meetings. During a
From-Within meeting, a student participant will be asked to present
his/her ongoing research to the group, thereby providing an opportunity
for the student to explain his/her work to non-experts in related
disciplines. During From-Within weeks, students will present and
discuss selected readings by experts from outside Penn, in particular,
that week's colloquium speaker at the Institute for Research in
Cognitive Science, or the Brain and Lanuage series. This "journal
club" will expose students to research going on outside Penn, and
prepare all of us for the colloquium in a way that is not normally
possible. Please contact Professor Trueswell by e-mail
(trueswel@psych.upenn.edu) if you are interesdted in attending.
Lunch will be provided.
