Our training model emphasizes hands on research training and professional productivity. Training includes seminars in the cognitive area that the student participates in every semester and a concurrent research seminar attended by both faculty and students. The program emphasizes psychological theory and research methods, but takes into account the multi-disciplinary perspective of cognitive science. Students have the opportunity to examine both basic and applied problems. A variety of research facilities are available including PC, Macintosh, and Silicon Graphics workstations, and the university's two networked mainframes.
Research is conducted in faculty laboratories as well as in schools, field settings, and industry.
Also, applied decision making and decision making aids especially in muscular skeletal medical decision making. Learning and strategy use, particularly in spatial and mathematical tasks, using cognitive neuroscience methods such as fMRI, neuropsychology, connectionist modeling. The deadline for applications is January 10. Applications for the clinical program are accepted only for the following fall semester. All applicants will be considered without discrimination on the basis of differences in age, ethnic or racial background, gender, physical abilities, sexual orientation or preference, or social background.
