Structural equation modeling (SEM) refers to a family of methods that all involve tests of a priori statistical models of covariances. Another term for SEM is the analysis of covariance structures. SEM is most useful when the researcher has multiple indicators of many constructs and wishes to test the appropriateness of complex hypothesized networks among these constructs. SEM subsumes many more familiar techniques - for instance, simple and multiple regression analysis, and exploratory factor analysis. However, SEM also provides powerful generalizations of these techniques.

Course covers classic and current research findings and theories within the field of human speech perception. Topics included are among others: lexical processing and models of spoken-word recognition; segmentation of continuous speech; second language listening; effects of aging on speech perception; learning; audiovisual speech perception and seeing language.

The term "multicultural" is applied broadly to include issues of minority or marginalized status, as related to race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, spirituality, class, and the elderly. This course utilizes principles and concepts of multicultural and cross-cultural psychology to attempt to acquire an increased understanding of diverse, underrepresented groups, with an emphasis on understanding racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism and ageism.
