Course Description
This course examines the development of pre-adolescent children's thinking abilities. Particularly, students explore the significance of cognitive, neurological, and neuropsychological factors in typical and atypical development. Current research on developmental plasticity and sensitive periods in development are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the prenatal and postnatal development of the central nervous system, as well as the impact of neurological insult on children’s cognitive development. Of particular interest are the challenges associated with assessing the changing nature of children’s cognitive competencies (executive functioning, reasoning, working memory, theory of mind, attention, planning and strategic skills), as well as how these are manifest in children with specific disorders (ADHD) or with particular physical difficulties (deaf and blind children). Special attention is paid to the development of language, reading, number, and mathematical abilities, focusing specifically on the diagnosis and remedial interventions of children with dyscalculia and dyslexia.

Course Description
This course examines psychological and biosocial theories of crime which help explain aggressive and violent behavior. The course searches for the origins of criminal behavior in biological, psychological, learning, and situational factors, and looks at the link between mental illness and crime. Next, the general theories of aggression and those related to specific forms of violent crimes are studied. The study of a particular crime covers the theories, precipitating factors, relationship between victim and offender, and impact upon the victim. Criminologists, among others, study violent behavior in an attempt to identify biological triggers, risk factors, developmental patterns, or learned cues which may help handle the behavior. These markers and factors are examined, along with the treatment paradigms that have been designed to prevent, control, and treat perpetrators (and victims) of domestic and family violence and sexual offenses. Students complete assigned readings for discussion in class where active student participation is required.

Course Description
The course analyzes human cognition from evolutionary and functional perspectives. The first part of the course places the human brain in a comparative and evolutionary context. The second part analyzes differences and similarities between the human mind and other forms of animal cognition and the concept of consciousness. The final part of the course is dedicated to language. Students analyze the theories proposed by Chomsky, Pinker, the idea of a “universal grammar,” recent research in neurolinguistics, comparative studies of animal communication, and sociolinguistic studies of language differentiation, in order to categorize the origin, uniqueness, and diversity of human language.

UCEAP Semester Units

Course Description
The extensive independent study field research paper produced by the student is both the centerpiece of the intern's professional engagement and the culmination of the academic achievements of the semester. During the preparatory session, IFE teaches the methodological guidelines and principles to which students are expected to adhere in the development of their written research. Students work individually with a research advisor from their field. The first task is to identify a topic, following guidelines established by IFE for research topic choice. The subject must be tied in a useful and complementary way to the student-intern's responsibilities, as well as to the core concerns of the host organization. The research question should be designed to draw as much as possible on resources available to the intern via the internship (data, documents, interviews, observations, seminars and the like). Students begin to focus on this project after the first 2-3 weeks on the internship. Each internship agreement signed with an organization makes explicit mention of this program requirement, and this is the culminating element of their semester. Once the topic is identified, students meet individually, as regularly as they wish, with their IFE research advisor to generate a research question from the topic, develop an outline, identify sources and research methods, and discuss drafts submitted by the student. The research advisor also helps students prepare for the oral defense of their work which takes place a month before the end of the program and the due date of the paper. The purpose of this exercise is to help students evaluate their progress and diagnose the weak points in their outline and arguments. Rather than an extraneous burden added to the intern's other duties, the field research project grows out of the internship through a useful and rewarding synergy of internship and research. The Field Study and Internship model results in well-trained student-interns fully engaged in mission-driven internships in their field, while exploring a critical problem guided by an experienced research advisor.
