Ph.D.

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The Learning and Memory area specializes in research and theory in instrumental/operant conditioning, Pavlovian conditioning, motivation, and animal perception and cognition. The area faculty primarily work with non- human animals, and their specific interests currently include topics such as categorization and acquired equivalence, numerosity discriminations, reward memories and outcome expectancies, serial learning, reward schedule effects, modulatory and other conditioning processes in feeding, and the neural substrates of learning and memory. Faculty in other areas (e.g., Cognitive and Clinical) have research interests complementing those of the Learning & Memory faculty, thus providing good opportunities for collaborative research and other interactions. Students primarily interested in the study of human memory, however, should apply through the Cognitive area.
