Psychology 350CC - Lab in Biological Bases of Behavior: 'Laboratory in Comparative Cognition'

In this class, we take a deep dive into comparative cognition: the study of cognition across species. We will review the background literature and learn about hypotheses creation, study design, statistics, and write-ups in this field. Students will present on a topic within comparative cognition and take part in group discussions on the content of peer-reviewed papers. Then, students will take on the role of a comparative cognition researcher and design, perform, and write-up a six-week study on the cognition of domesticated species of animal (species to be determined).

Prereq: PSYCH-204.
