Course Description

Learning from and remembering experiences is critical for survival; failure of the psychobiological mechanisms underlying memory formation and retrieval can have severe and life-changing effects. In this course, students gain knowledge of the neural basis of learning and memory and develop an understanding of how learning and memory are impacted by, or are a feature of, various mental health conditions. Lectures may include the following topics: types of learning and memory; memory formation, persistence, and modulation; memory-related disorders, and corresponding pre-clinical models.

Course Description

Our intrapsychic lives are dominated by two sorts of phenomena: thoughts (cognition) and feelings (emotion). Cognition and emotion closely interact; the way we think has significant implication in regulation of our emotions. This course 1) reviews theoretical and empirical work on the relationship between cognition and emotion regulation, as well as the mechanisms underlying the problems of emotion regulation that span different mental disorders; 2) introduces evidenced-based intervention techniques with broad clinical utility such as cognitive restructuring and mindfulness-based interventions; and 3) discusses ways to apply these skills to diverse contexts of everyday life.

Course Description
Cross-cultural psychology examines what is basic about human nature and what emerges as different depending on people's culture. It critically evaluates the generality of knowledge from mainstream psychology and covers a wide range of topics. This course provides a thorough introduction to cross-cultural psychology by focusing on three central overlapping aspects within the discipline. First, the basic epistemological and methodological questions are explored. For instance, whether people from different cultures can be meaningfully compared, how such comparisons should be carried out, and how culture can be operationalized. Second, several explanations for understanding (the impact of) cultural differences are considered, and the cross-cultural validity of mainstream psychology theories are evaluated. In doing so, a variety of topics are addressed, including child-rearing, self-perception, personality, and moral reasoning. Finally, contacts between members of different cultures are studied. Prerequisite for this course is an introductory psychology course.
