Topic: Motivation

This seminar will examine the social psychology of motivation through close reading and discussion of theory and empirical evidence. What do people want, and how do they achieve it? What are the intrapersonal and interpersonal consequences of goal success and failure? What structural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal variables are involved in goal-related processes? Throughout the course, we will consider the question of what living a "good life"means across individuals and societies, and how psychological science can contribute to greater physical and mental well-being.

Topic: Intr mole, cell mech of addict

The major objective of this course is to introduce the emerging concept that addiction should be considered as a brain disorder driven by maladaptive plasticity processes. To achieve this objective, we will study the neurobiological basis of the normal and abnormal plasticity processes in the healthy and the addicted brain, respectively. We will first learn about the organization and functional logic of the dopaminergic signaling system in the context of addiction. Next, we will become familiar with the basic molecular and cellular processes that go awry in addiction. We will also study the neurobiological mechanisms of action of the commonly abused substances and pleasure-evoking stimuli. Finally, we will discuss the most important genetic and environmental factors contributing to the susceptibility to addiction and learn about the neurobiological basis of the current therapeutic approaches for addiction treatment.

Topic: Neurobiology of cognition

This course will explore the structural and functional basis of various cognitive processes at the neuronal circuit level. There is an emphasis on the neurons and their networks that generate complex operations. Lectures will link neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, and behavioral research aiming to understand the neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognitive functions. Examples of cognitive processes that will be discussed include attention, consciousness, fear memory formation, spatial navigation, surprise-driven learning, sleep-promoted memory consolidation etc.

• Topic: The Psychology of Adolescence
• ++Students must avoid Final Exam conflicts-See Exam Schedule
• Meets with PSY-P457

Topic: Psychology of adolescence

What does it mean to develop or to age? What changes are involved in those processes? In this course, we will study the physical, cognitive, and socioemotional changes that occur in the second decade of life. We will explore the complex contexts that impact adolescent development such as the family, peers, and schools, as well as the broader context of society and culture. Additionally, we will review major developmental theories and methods of developmental research as well as contemporary adolescent issues and concerns (e.g., work, media, sexuality).
