UofL Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences Cognitive Program Page Cognitive Homepage Welcome to the home page of the Cognitive Psychology Program at the University of Louisville. Cognitive psychology at the University of Louisville clusters around five core faculty in association with a number of university centers. 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.
