Normal animal behaviour and specific behaviour problems of different species and breeds will be covered. Students will learn about human-animal bonding and basic physiological requirements of animals. The ability to handle and restrain small and large animals is taught with emphasis on safety for patient and handler. Current Behaviour and Restraint modification guidelines and procedures will be discussed.

This advanced course in psychophysiology focuses on and provides students in-depth knowledge of the processes and instruments used in recording and studying a person's physiological responses to internal or external cognitive, emotional, and/or behavioural stimuli. Examining the physiological changes that accompany psychological or behavioural manipulation, as well as, the behavioural changes produced by manipulating physiological variables is essential for understanding the mind-body interaction.

This course is an introduction to the psychological theories of learning. Topics discussed will include the evolutionary context in which learning occurs, reflexes and fixed action patterns, sociobiology, the behaviourist theories of classical and operant conditioning, criticisms of the behavioural perspective, and criticism of the transitional memory theories. This course is the first of a pair of courses in the field and is generally followed by the advanced course in cognition, PY3580.

This course is an introduction to the neural basis of sensation, movement, learning, memory, motivation, and cognition as studies in both humans and other animals.

This course is an introduction to the study of how individuals view and affect one another in a social context. Topics covered include persuasion, prejudice, behaviour and attitudes, conformity, altruism, group influence, and attraction.

The course introduces practical and theoretical concepts of athletic injury. This includes an overview of athletic therapy and the prevention, assessment, acute management, and rehabilitation of injuries.

The lecture, laboratory experience and supplementary readings are designed to promote an understanding o the physiological responses to acute and chronic exercise. Successful completion of the course requirements will enable one to understand the basic function of various physiological systems; describe the various physiological changes that occur during acute exercise and the various adaptations to different forms of exercise training and environmental influence; understand the basic ergometry and other laboratory instrumentation for evaluating physiological responses to exercise; and experience exercise stress in a laboratory setting as a participant and tester.

This course is an individual-based analysis of personal health and wellness issues. The emphasis is on planning and managing your own lifestyle for health and well-being.
