Cognitive
- Program Director: Dr. Satoru Suzuki
The major purpose of the graduate training program in Cognitive Psychology in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University is to train skilled research professionals and teachers. To accomplish this objective the department provides intensive training in methods of research and in theoretical or integrative aspects of cognition and language. Within this framework, there is opportunity for students to emphasize a variety of subspecialties. Possibilities might include behavioral, computational, and brain-based approaches to learning, memory, categorization, reasoning, problem solving, decision processes, language, cognitive development, attention, and perception.
