Courses

This is a course aiming to teach advanced computeraided statistics in psychology and social sciences. In addition to learning about the basics of conducting psychological data analysis and hypothesis testing, students will learn about the following statistical tests: Twoway analysis of variance (ANOVA); Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA); Analysis of covariance; Discriminant analysis; Cluster analysis. Student task will be to learn the basic concepts behind these tests. Student will also learn how to run these tests in SPSS.

Theories and procedures of learning will be elaborated by paying emphasize on the underlying neural plasticity of behavior. Analytical techniques and procedures to test hypotheses about behavioral phenomena will be the main approach of the course. In addition, learning will be defined as a powerful tool for an examination of complex neural systems in vertebrates. Finally, usage of this tool will be expanded to the studies of psychopharmacological preperations.


To examine basic human cognitve processes and fundemantal research methods and having kowledge about the application of these methods.


This course is concerned with principles of behavioral neurosdcience, the underlying brain mechanisms that are responsible for behavior. The main approach to the course is in the framework of the human brain and its functions.


Thesis writing, phases of thesis writing, receiving feedback.


This course consists of independently conducting a research project and acquiring the necessary skills required in the process. The student initially specifies a research problem with an advisor, makes a screening and review of the literature. By analyzing the methods used in studying the problem and considering the previous limitations, the student specifies an original research design, hypotheses and measurement tools of the study. Finally, data is collected and analyzed and a thesis including the writing of the theoretical basis, method, results and discussion of the research.
