This seminar course examines the fundamental cognitive, motivational, and affective processes that underlie parenting behavior. Primary emphasis will be placed on (i) understanding how endocrine, sensory and experiential information is integrated within the relevant neural circuitry that yields this complex behavior under healthy conditions, and (ii) how neuropsychological dysfunction, as with maternal mental disorders, leads to disturbances in parenting and in the mother-infant relationship.

The hierarchical linear model provides a conceptual framework and a flexible set of analytic tools to study a variety of educational, social and developmental processes. One set of applications focuses on data in which persons are clustered within social contexts such as couples, families, classrooms, schools, or neighborhoods. A second set of applications concerns individual growth or change over time.

This course examines the fundamental processes underlying cognitive and neural development from infancy through childhood. Students will explore the theoretical debate between nativism and empiricism, investigating how core cognitive abilities emerge through the interaction of innate mechanisms and environmental experience. The course integrates behavioral and neuroimaging evidence to understand how the developing brain gives rise to sophisticated cognitive abilities.

This an advanced graduate-level seminar designed to explore the intersection of computational methods and social behavior. This course delves deeply into Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications for psychology, offering students the opportunity to understand and analyze complex patterns in human communication and large-scale textual data. By leveraging the power of NLP for psychology, students will learn to extract and interpret nuanced aspects of psychology from textual corpora, enabling a deeper understanding of human behavior ?in the wild.?

This seminar provides an overview of the cognitive changes that occur as a function of normal and, to a lesser extent, pathological aging. We will cover a broad variety of topics including theories of cognitive aging, brain aging, animal models of cognitive aging, hormonal influences and menopause, and interventions for successful aging.
