Psychology · Boston College
This course will introduce students to research and theory in regards to the psychobiology of emotional learning and behavior. Behavioral experiments demonstrating basic concepts in emotional learning will be described, as well as experiments aimed at determining the neural circuits which govern this learning and behavior. Additional coursework will explore the role of both developmental factors and sex differences in emotional learning. Most of the findings presented will be from non-human animal research, but some human studies will be highlighted.
