Developmental Psychology with a Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience focus. This interdisciplinary
program will emphasize broad training in the study of the neuro-anatomical, physiological,

as they unfold and change over the lifespan.
The curriculum will cover a number of fields including sensation, perception, attention, language, memory, decision-making, reasoning, executive function, emotion, consciousness and social processes. This will involve courses taught by experts in the field who have appointments at the University of Houston, the Texas Medical Center (the University of Texas' Health Sciences Center at Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, and related institutions and hospitals). In addition, faculty have strong links to a number of other departments and centers on campus (Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Education and Speech, Communication Sciences and the Center for Drug and Social Policy Research) and extensive long-term relationships with the Texas Medical Center in terms of research, teaching, practicum, and clinical endeavors.
