Cognitive Neuroscience Sequence
Neuroscience Major: Sequence in Cognitive Neuroscience If you are a student who is interested in the human brain, and how it links to the human mind and complex human behaviors-- from before birth through adulthood, then this is the Neuroscience track for you! Note: This track is approved as a multidisciplinary major for ISS scholars at CMC. I. Overview The CogNeuro sequence in the Neuroscience major equips students with the knowledge of how to relate information processing in the human brain to human mental processes and behavior. Mental processes include perception, attention, voluntary movement, memory, conceptual biases, language, imagery, emotions, problem solving, decision-making, and social judgment. There are 2 main tracks within the CogNeuro track: 1) one for students who plan to attend graduate school for cognitive, social, or cultural neuroscience, or who want to obtain a job in a research lab at graduation; and 2) one for all other students (e.g. those who plan to attend medical or nursing or veterinary or dentistry school or graduate school for clinical psychology or law school or business school As for all of the sequences you should be choosing your 4 courses with the advice of the faculty who will be your Neuroscience major advisor, who will most likely be your senior thesis first reader and primary mentor. Below we give some requirements and general guidelines. II. Cognitive Neuroscience Faculty Mentors Stacey Doan (CMC) Alison Harris (CMC) Cathy Reed (CMC, KSD) Timothy Justus (PZ) David Moore (PZ) Michael Spezio (SC, KSD) Stacey Wood (SC) III.

Psychological Statistics Psychological Statistics Using SPSS for Windows
SHIKEN: The JALT Testing & Evaluation SIG Newsletter, 8 (1) March 2004. (pp. 9-10). Book Review: Psychological Statistics Using SPSS for Windows by Robert C. Gardner (2001) ISBN: 013028324 New York: McGraw-Hill This is a fine statistical manual for people attempting psychological research with little or no background in quantitative analyses. Clearly designed for novice quantitative researchers, this informative and humorous text starts with a basic introduction to statistics and ends with a discussion on factor analysis. This 307 page text consists of eleven chapters - plus appendix references, an author index, and a subject index. Each chapter starts off with a table of topics for quick reference that gives readers a good overview of what each chapter covers. Designed to give psychology students a textbook that demonstrates how to work with SPSS, this text helps them comprehend and interpret the output and go through basic calculation procedures (p. ix). One thing that makes this work so concise, clear-cut and easy-to-follow is that when lengthy explanations are required to elucidate a point, readers are referred to other sources. Aspiring researchers must not only understand statistics to conduct to quantitative research, but also understand how to manipulate of the statistical software and interpret the analysis. Gardner appreciates these hurdles and provides instructions which are progressive and coherent. Each topic begins with a summary of the historical background relating to the construction of a particular analysis. This is provided to give an understanding how analytic procedures are interrelated and have evolved over time (p. x). Too many novice researchers think of these as sudden occurrences.

The Expanding Role of Quantitative Methodologists in Advancing Psychology
Canadian Psychology © 2009 Canadian Psychological Association 2009, Vol. 50, No. 2, 83–90 0708-5591/09/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0015180 The Expanding Role of Quantitative Methodologists in Advancing Psychology Caroline Golinski and Robert A. Cribbie York University Research designs in psychology have become increasingly complex; thus, the methods for analysing the data have also become more complex. It is unrealistic for departments of psychology to expect research psychologists to stay informed about all the advances in statistical methods that apply to their field of research; therefore, departments must improve the profile of quantitative methods to ensure that adequate statistical resources are available to faculty. In this article, we discuss the challenges involved in improving the profile of quantitative methods given the drastic decreases in quantitative methods faculty, students, and graduate programs over the past couple decades, and discuss the importance of reversing this trend through improving awareness of the field of quantitative methods in psychology. Keywords: statistics, quantitative methods, psychology faculty Statistics. Who needs it anyway? It is the dreaded course of most this, where are psychologists expected to receive the type of psychology undergraduate and graduate students, and even some statistical assistance they require? faculty members cringe when forced to discuss or conduct statis- The most common statistical resources are (a) psychologists tical analyses.
