Cognitive/Learning Concentration
Fifteen credit hours in cognitive.
This will include two cognitive area core courses:
PSY 561 Cognitive Processes I
PSY 562 Cognitive Processes II
Three electives.
Cognitive Neuroimaging Concentration
Beyond the departmental required courses all cognitive neurosciences
students will be required to complete five courses
in concentration. Three of these five required courses will be
the following:
PSY 540 Biological Bases of Behavior
PSY 650 Special Topics in Functional Neuroimaging I
PSY 650 Special Topics in Functional Neuroimaging II
PSY 641 Seminar in Cognitive Neuroimaging
(once a year)
The remaining two courses must be chosen from the
following:
PSY 650 Special Topics in Biological Bases of Cognition
PSY 650 Special Topics in Developmental Neuroscience
PSY 650 Special Topics in Clinical Neuroimaging
PSY 650 Special Topics in Psych Program Methods
BIOM 533 Neurophysiology and Neuroanatomy
Developmental Concentration
Beyond the departmental required courses, all Developmental
students are required to satisfy the following requirements:
Completion of three courses which a student may elect from
the following list:
PSY 650 Seminar Development
PSY 523 Social Development
PSY 528 Seminar in Cognitive Development
Completion of one 3 hour course in Social or Personality
area.
Evolutionary Concentration
Beyond the departmental core requirements, all Evolutionary
Psychology students will be required to complete five courses.
These courses should include:
PSY 650 Special Topics: Evolutionary Psychology
Four other courses on evolutionary analysis of behavior.
At least one course must be offered in the Department
of Psychology. Appropriate courses include Behavior
Genetics (PSY 650), Evolution and Cognition (PSY 650)
and Evolutionary Social Psychology (PSY 650).
At least two of these courses should be taken in the
Department of Biology or the Department of Anthropology.
Appropriate courses include Advanced Behavioral Ecology
(BIOL 521), Topics in Behavioral Ecology (BIOL 502),
Advanced Human Evolutionary Ecology (ANTH 562),
Advanced Topics in Human Evolutionary Ecology (ANTH
560), and Seminar: Human Reproductive Ecology and
Biology (ANTH 561). Any other course must be approved
by the Committee of Studies.
Behavioral Neuroscience Concentration
Beyond the departmental required courses, all behavioral
neuroscience students will be required to complete five
courses. Two of these five required courses will be the following:
PSY 540 Biological Bases of Behavior
PSY 641 Seminar in Physiological Psychology
(once a year)
The remaining three courses must consist of one course from
each of the following three areas:
Neuropsychology
PSY 650 Advanced Neuropsychological Assessment
PSY 650 Biological Bases of Memory
PSY 650 Neuropsychology of Individual Differences
PSY 650 Human Neuropsychology
PSY 650 Neural Basis of Cognitive Development
Neurobiology
PSY 542 Seminar in Recovery of Function and
Epilepsy
BIOM 531 Nervous System Organization, Plasticity
and Development
BIOM 532 Neurochemistry
BIOM 533 Neurophysiology and Neuroanatomy
Psychopharmacology
PSY 547 Drugs and Behavior
PSY 650 Neural Basis of Addiction
Quantitative/Methodology Concentration
Beyond the departmental core requirements, all Quantitative
Methodology students will be required to complete PSY 601
(Multiple Measures) and four other courses. At least two of
these four courses must be selected from the following list of
quantitative courses offered in our Department:
PSY 506 Seminar in Mathematical Psychology
PSY 650 Quasi-Experimental Design
PSY 650 Program Evaluation Research
PSY 650 Structural Equation Modeling
PSY 650 Computer Simulation
PSY 650 Computer Experimental Control
At least one, but not more than two, of these courses
must be selected from courses in quantitative methods
offered by other University of New Mexico departments. The
Quantitative Committee will maintain a list of extra-departmental
courses that may be used to satisfy this requirement;
any other course a student wishes to count toward this
extra-departmental requirement must be approved by the
Quantitative Committee.
Additional Doctoral Requirements
In addition to course work in the concentration, all doctoral
students must complete 9 hours (generally three graduate
courses) of approved course work in an additional area outside
of the concentration.
The Breadth Requirement
To ensure a breadth of training all students are required
to complete a 12 hour (generally four graduate courses)
breadth requirement. History and Systems (511) will count
toward the breadth requirement, and all students are strongly
encouraged to take Multiple Measures (601) as one of the
three remaining courses to satisfy the requirement. The other
courses can be taken inside or outside the Department, but
they must be outside the concentration, and they must be
scholarly in nature.
The Collateral Requirement
To satisfy the departmental requirement of a foreign language
or comparable alternative requirement, students may use the
computer labs (503L and 504L) associated with the Statistics
(501) and Experimental Design (502) courses, respectively.
Psychology (PSY)
