Psychology (Ph.D. Code: PSY)
Fields of study: Clinical, cognitive,
and social psychology; neuroscience and behavior; visual perception. The program
offers doctoral study for students who intend to become psychological scientists
or scientist-practitioners. Students who plan to terminate their studies with
the master\'s degree are not encouraged to apply. Admission is not limited to
students with undergraduate backgrounds in psychology. Theory, method, and
research experience in a number of areas of psychological science are
emphasized. Course requirements are organized into the three broad areas of
cognitive science, neuroscience, and clinical science. Students have intensive
research training with individual faculty in the areas of clinical psychology,
cognition, functional imaging, perception, psychobiology, sensory
neurophysiology, and social psychology. Students in clinical psychology are also
provided with extensive training in clinical skills. Major practicum facilities
in which students receive supervised clinical and/or applied research training
are found in the Vanderbilt Medical Center and other institutions in Nashville.
The department is in a building which offers generous laboratory space for
individual and group experiments with human subjects, and facilities for animal
experimentation. It has a computerized classroom and connections to the campus
mainframe computers. Computerized equipment for neuroanatomy, neurophysiology,
and psychophysics is also available and is especially suited for work on sensory
systems. Human subjects are available through a University research pool,
Vanderbilt clinics, and the local school system. In addition, the department has
an animal facility providing a wide variety of species, including fish, rodents,
and primates.

Psychology and Human Development (M.S., Ph.D. Code:
GPSY)
Fields of study: Clinical, cognitive studies, community,
developmental, and quantitative psychology. The Clinical program focuses
primarily on issues facing children and families. Faculty members study the
development of aggressive behavior and depression in children and adolescents;
psychological factors accompanying developmental disability and chronic physical
disease; the role of communities in mental health; cognitive intervention for
learning and behavioral problems; and the delivery of mental health services to
children, youth, and families. The goal of the clinical program is to educate
psychologists as scientists and practitioners so that they may pursue a variety
of career paths. The Cognitive Studies program focuses on laboratory- and
field-based research into cognitive processes as they occur in formal and
informal learning situations. Areas of research emphasis include cognition,
instruction, and technology; cognitive development; expert-novice performances
and individual differences in cognitive skills; family and community contexts
for learning; language and text processing; perceptional-motor coordination;
relationships between cognition and emotion; spatial representation and
reasoning; and social behavior. The Community Psychology program is oriented to
action-research-based strategies of assessment and intervention in such settings
as family, school, neighborhood, and city. The Developmental specialty
emphasizes research aimed at understanding basic processes of development and
the application of these understandings to practical problems. The research
focuses on social relations, personality, language, cognition, and perception,
as related to normative development as well as to disabilities such as
psychopathology, mental retardation, and blindness. The Program in Quantitative
Methods focuses on methods for designing studies and analyzing data for two
interrelated forms of behavioral and social change: (1) change that comes about
due to naturally occurring developmental processes; and (2) change that is
instigated through deliberate intervention strategies and experimentation. In
both arenas, an integrated approach to the analysis of change is emphasized that
involves in-depth consideration of measurement, research design, statistical
theory, principles of data analysis, research synthesis and the reporting of
findings. In particular, the program focuses on development and application of
statistics, measurement, and research design to applied practical problems in
social research generally, with specific emphasis on problems in psychology,
education and program evaluation.
