We examine the behavior and mental processes of humans and animals, considering how they think, develop, and act, and how they might lead healthier lives. Our department encompasses biopsychology, neuroscience, animal behavior, cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, experimental psychology, and social psychology.
