Research in the Psychology Department covers a wide spectrum of contemporary behavioral science within a close-knit community of faculty and students. There are four major areas of emphasis within the department, behavioral neuroscience, cognition, perception, and social/personality, with main cross-cutting themes in health, affective science, and lifespan development.
