Students regularly become coauthors of articles in professional journals.Faculty support student interests in a wide range of research areas, including behavioral neuroscience, social, cognitive, clinical, and developmental psychology. Laboratory facilities include observation and research rooms, an animal colony, laboratories for studies in human and animal physiology, perception and cognition, and social psychology. There are also developmental psychology laboratories devoted to infant, child, and adolescent research.
