We will also discuss the field of applied behaviour analysis, and how it is used to improve learning in the regular classroom and for people with autism and learning disabilities. The language compnent is designed to provide students with an introduction to the scientific study of language. It will cover the central theories and issues in the psychology of language, including a) the structure and function of language, b) what cognitive and neural processes allow us to understand and produce spoken and written language and c) language disorder (e.g., dyslexia).

• PSP-3004: The Social Brain (20) (Semester 1)
  Human beings are social creatures. We spend most of time in the company of other people, whose behaviour is complex, often unpredictable, and highly relevant to our own daily lives. These demands have shaped the evolution and development of the brain to provide neural systems that can: recognise other individuals and their actions; decode their intentions; make predictions about their future behaviour; and make guesses about their internal mental states. In recent years developments in functional neuroimaging - a set of tools that measure correlates of brain activity - have added much to our knowledge about these neural systems. The module will cover important concepts and findings in this area, with a particular emphasis on the functional MRI. Along the way, we will discuss the design, analysis and interpretation of the FMRI experiments, with a practical focus on understanding the latest research. The aims are to: 1. Present current evidence from functional neuroimaging techniques on the brain's representation of other people - their appreance, their actions, their intentions, and their states of mind. 2. Describe modern functional neuroimaging techniques , wuth a strong emphasis on fMRI. 3. Provide a practical introduction to the design and analysis of fMRI experiments.
