Supervisors and students together will evaluate previous research on the basis of rules of academic writing and discuss how to apply skills related to critical reading, understanding, synthesizing and contrasting and comparing. Students will work together with an assigned instructor on a selected area in their discipline. Students are also required to write a paper/report in this seminar.
This course is designed to independently conduct a research and acquire the necessary competencies. Accordingly, a proper research question is identified under the guidance of an advisor, an extensive literature review is made, and a unique hypothesis and research design are determined by taking into consideration the methodologies and gaps in the literature. Within the framework of the research design, the relevant data is collected and a thesis including the theoretical basis, method, results and discussion of the research is written.
This course consists of revision of the basic research and statistical concepts, performing analyses such as Correlation, Simple and Linear Regression, Comparing means by using SPSS program, interpretation and reporting of the results obtained from these analyses.
This course includes performing of advanced statistical techniques such as Analysis of Covariance, Factorial ANOVA, Multivariate Analysis of Variance by using SPSS, interpretation and reporting the results of these analyses.
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.
This course has been designed to examine basic human cognitive processes and fundamental research methods and having knowledge about the application of these methods.
This course is concerned with principles of behavioral neuroscience, 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.
This course is concerned with an in depth investigation of the evolutionary bases of learning and cognition. The course will cover how mental mechanisms and their biological correlates have evolved to produce what we have today.
This graduate course overviews the application of structural equation modeling to various analysis problems confronted throughout the social, behavioral, and health sciences. Topics will include confirmatory factor analysis, measurement and structural models, path analysis, mediation, assessing model fit.
The course has been designed to help students design behavioral experiments using SuperLab.
This course has been designed to introduce the experimental designs on different perspectives of social psychology.
