<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial">The program in Cognitive Psychology at UC
Riverside offers training in the psychology and neuroscience of human cognition
with core expertise in the area of experience-dependent changes in human
cognition. The program includes specializations in visual, auditory and multisensory
perception, speech, language, and communication, memory, perceptual learning,
sleep, cerebral lateralization and individual differences in brain structure,
brain training and video games and mathematical/computational modeling of
cognitive processes. This research makes use of a diverse set of tools
including, EEG, MRI, electrical stimulation, eye-tracking, psychopharmacology,
driving simulators, psychophysics; and tests populations ranging from children
to seniors and in normally functioning and cognitively impaired populations.

Medical School, and the surrounding community make UCR an ideal campus for
graduate students interested in studying the ways in which cognitive processes
are influenced by and interact with, variations in environment.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times"></span></p>
