该系分为四个领域：临床科学，发展，社会和认知，大脑和行为。这些小组由教师组成，他们的共同兴趣跨越心理学某些子领域的连贯的高级研究计划。鼓励个别教职员工和研究生参加多个小组。<br> <br>认知，大脑和行为（CBB）小组的研究包括感觉和知觉，学习和记忆，注意力，心理意象，概念表示，衰老，语言，情感，运动控制，社会认知，道德决策和神经系统疾病。这些研究的对象从正常的成年人和婴儿到脑部受损的患者，以及各种非人类的灵长类和禽类。方法包括基于计算机的行为测试和基于网络的调查，以评估行为的功能模式，以及用于研究认知
The Department is organized into four areas: clinical science, developmental, social, and cognition, brain, and behavior. These groups consist of faculty members whose combined interests span a coherent program of advanced study and research in some subfield of psychology. Individual faculty and graduate students are encouraged to participate in more than one group. Research in the Cognition, Brain, and Behavior (CBB) group includes studies of sensation and perception, learning and memory, attention, mental imagery, conceptual representation, aging, language, emotion, motor control, social cognition, moral decision making, and neurological disorders. The subjects for these studies range from normal human adults and infants to brain-damaged patients, and various non-human primate and avian species. Methodologies include computer-based behavioral tests and web-based surveys to assess functional patterns in behavior, as well as functional neuroimaging techniques (such as magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography and transcranial magnetic stimulation) to study the neural bases of various components of cognition and behavior.
