Connectionists: The PhD program in Cognitive Psychology at UC Riverside

[Sara C. Mednick]

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. The primary cognitive faculty are

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.
