Research facilities

The Psychology Department has excellent laboratory and computer facilities to support graduate training. The research space, much of it newly designed and renovated, allows for research in animal behavior, cognitive information processing, child development, electrophysiology, pharmacological and physiological bases of animal behavior, psychophysiology, small group behavior, interpresonal communication, psycholinguistics and visual processing. All laboratories have several computers and terminals that link the department to the University-wide computing system. The department also has several small, general purpose laboratories, useful for performing animal surgeries and histology, a complete photography set-up, and an electronics and carpentry shop. Training for clinical practice is provided in a separate facility containing several consultation rooms designed for supervision of testing and therapy.
