Catalog description

Prerequisite: PSYC C1000 and STAT C1000. Honors Experimental Psychophysiology uses the pedagogical methods common to all Honors courses: interdisciplinary, writing- intensive, collaborative, and experiential instruction. Course content makes connection through a common theme with other courses offered within the specified transdisciplinary unit. The course introduces the student to the theory and application of the scientific method in psychology. Content includes: philosophy of science, research design, experimental procedures, data analysis and presentation. A computerized psychophysiology laboratory is used to introduce students to experiments in which one variable is physiological and the primary focus and theoretical context are behavioral.
