PNB Lab Courses with Instructors Assigned:
Mandatory:
PNB 3RM3- RESEARCH METHODS LAB is required by all students in an Honours PNB Program. Students will be provided with an ability to critically appraise articles in popular press reporting results of research
studies and to draw inferences carefully from the limited data presented in many daily life situations.
Specialty Labs:
These specialty labs give students experience in a given area of research in their third year. Labs are assigned to students through a ballot system in second semester of Year 2.
PNB 3DV3- DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY LABORATORY This lab deals with research methods in developmental psychology, the unique ethical and practical considerations, and communicating of research findings.
PNB 3EE3- PERCEPTION LABORATORY Learn the skills needed to take you to graduate school: Experimental design, computer programming, manuscript writing and oral presentation. Previous programming experience not required.
PNB 3EV3- EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY LAB This course is designed to help develop effective, transferable techniques among many facets of scientific research such as acoustic analysis and voice and face manipulation techniques.
PNB 3L03- NEUROSCIENCE LABORATORY Seminars and laboratory experience in current problems in neurobiology.
PNB 3LA3- MEASURING BEHAVIOUR LABORATORY This lab covers basic methods of quantitative behavioural analysis in rodents, with an emphasis on contemporary techniques of observation, recording, and inferential statistics. It provides a methodological basis for behavioural phenotyping of experimental animals and development of disease models..
PNB 3MM3- COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE LABORATORY Working in groups, students will learn to conduct experiments in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Issues related to research design and scientific communication will be emphasized.
PNB 3S03- ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR LABORATORY Laboratory and field studies involving a wide variety of species.
PNB 3V03- LABORATORY IN HUMAN MEMORY AND COGNITION Experiments illustrating important issues in human memory and cognition. Problems in the design, analysis, and reporting of experiments will be emphasized. Individual projects required.
Please refer to the Undergraduate Course Calendar to be made aware of any prerequisite courses these labs may require.
