Cognition, Brain, and Behavior

Teachers and students in the fields of cognition, brain and behavior study the broad cognitive abilities and factors that affect them. Traditional behavioral measurements of human performance are combined with eye tracking, computational modeling, virtual reality, brain activity measurement, pharmacology and neuropsychological methods.

These different interests and methods lead to a natural collaboration between our psychology curriculum and biology, teachers in other departments such as computer science and engineering.

(Block Mall, Carlson, Cloel, Deal, Gibson, Bilano). The focus on our research has widely influenced our concerns and personal, environmental and contextual factors that influence our ignorance. Specific research topics are as follows.

(Crowell, D'Mello, Eberhard, Lany, McNeil). Our learning research focuses on factors that influence the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Specific research topics are as follows.

(Block Mall, Carlson, Gibson, Rannie, McNeill, Paine, Radovanski, Valentino, Worth). Our memory research focuses on factors that determine the difficulty of understanding and memorizing information. Specific research topics are as follows.

(Carlson, Diehl, Eberhard, Lany). Our language research mainly focuses on language generation and understanding. Specific concerns are as follows.

Communication disorder is a feature of neurodevelopmental disorder such as autism spectrum disorder

(Block Mall, Carlson, Gibson, Pain). Our research on visual and spatial cognition focuses on how attention and memory are used to construct psychological representations of visual displays including the real world environment. Specific concerns are as follows.

(Block Mall, Carlson, Gibson, Rannie, McNeill, Narvers, Valentino). Our research on cognitive development covers lifespan from infancy to old age. Specific research topics are as follows.

(Crowell, D'Mello, Diehl, Narvaez Payne, Wirth, Valentino, Villano). Our research on emotional cognition ranges from the basic mechanism of emotion to emotional barriers. Specific research topics are as follows.

(Carlson, Crowell, Diehl, D'Mello, Eberhard, Villano). Our research in cognitive research applications focuses on the clinical and engineering applications of basic research. The specific topics of interest are as follows.

In the research of the cognitive, brain, behavioral (CBB) team, studies on sensory and perception, learning and memory, attention, psychological image, conceptual expression, aging, language, emotion, motor control, social cognition, ethical decision making, And neurological research. . Obstacles The subjects of these studies included normal adults and infants, brain injured patients, and various non-human primates and birds. Methodology includes computer-based behavioral tests and web-based studies to evaluate patterns of behavioral function, as well as functional neuroimaging techniques (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Electroencephalography, Electroencephalogram Recording Cranial magnetic stimulation etc.). Neural basis and behavior of cognitive elements

In the brain, behavioral psychology and cognitive psychology (BBC) are exploring common points between neuroscience and cognitive science. In this field, the psychologist understands how we perceive the world, acquire new information, regain memory, communicate with others, talk to each other, interact with each other, and create complex cognitive abilities such as creative problem solving I will investigate whether it will affect it. The study of Northwestern University's brain, behavior, and cognitive psychology has influenced several themes. Topics are focused on memory and various mechanisms, and information is stored as a function of experience. Memory is expressed in a form of conscious search of autobiographical experience and implicit memory that changes unconscious behavior. Both of them are dependent on the neurobiologic mechanism of neuroplasticity. BBC also uses complex behaviors, neuroimaging and psychophysiological measurements to study various human cognitive phenomena.
