此外,学生还需要展示教统计学的能力. 这是通过担任:(a)本科水平统计学课程的主要讲师来完成的, such as Introductory Statistics; (b) instructor of a recitation section for undergraduate statistics; or (c) teaching assistant for a statistics course at the graduate level. Alternately, 学生可以在心理学和神经科学系的相同或不同统计主题的多个研讨会上提交累计9至12小时的统计研讨会材料. 至少三个小时应该是说教性的,剩下的时间用来咨询. Students prepare a plan to address these hours. 请注意,担任统计课程的评分员不足以满足本专业的教学要求.

  2. an exhaustive survey 和 review of literature related to the problem; 和
  3. a detailed methodological plan for investigating the problem.

博士咨询委员会评估并批准学生的建议或要求修改.

Dissertation:
博士论文是对心理学领域做出重大贡献的原创性实证研究. 它应该扩展现有的知识,并展示学生对研究方法的掌握和对他们感兴趣的主要领域的掌握. Dissertations should be rigorously investigated; uphold the ethics 和 st和ards of the field; demonstrate an underst和ing of the relationship between the primary area of interest 和 the broader field of Psychology; 和 be prepared for publication in a professional journal.
