PSYC 4606 - Cognitive Biases in Anxiety and Related Disorders

This course examines cognitive processing biases in anxiety and related disorders. To understand, for example, why a person with social anxiety sees only the one scowling face in a room full of smiles, we consider automatic processing of emotional information. The course critiques cutting-edge research on how these processes contribute to anxiety and related problems, and if it is important to change the processes to reduce psychopathology. Prerequisite: Psyc 3410. 4th year Psyc majors/minors or COGS majors . Enrollment not allowed in more than one 4000-level or 5000-level class.
