I. A student in Psychology who is interested in memory and conceptual behavior could take the following courses:

CmpSci 587, Computing with artificial neural networks
CmpSci 589, Machine learning
Ling 611, Psychological background to linguistic theory
Phil 753, Philosophy of science
Phil 755, Philosophy of mind

This program would give the student a broad overview of cognitive science approaches to knowledge and the representation of knowledge, which is fundamental to the student’s specialization in memory and conceptual behavior

II. A student in Psychology who is interested in computational approaches to vision, visual reasoning, and visual form learning might take the following courses:

Cmpsci 572, Neurobiology
Cmpsci 587, Computing with artificial neural networks
Cmpsci 589, Machine learning
Cmpsci 670, Computer vision
Plus one course not in current list, added at the request of the student who argues that the specific computational principles covered in this course have particular relevance to psychological approaches to computer vision: Cmpsci 687, Reinforcement Learning.

This program is sharply focused on computational approaches. It would provide the student with tools to do research on the psychology of vision that few psychologists enjoy.

III. A student in Linguistics who is interested in language processing in normal adults and in adults with language disorders might take the following courses:

Cmpsci 585, Natural language processing
Psychology 530, Human neuropsychology
Psychology 617, Cognitive psychology
ComDis 580, Cognitive bases of language
ComDis 613, Language disorders in adults I

This program would provide the student with a broad overview of experimental and clinical approaches to language and language disorders.
