The University of Maryland Baltimore County's Psychology Department provides an exceptional opportunity for students to see how basic laboratory research can be translated into treatments, interventions, and policies that improve the quality of life. Interested undergraduates work with internationally recognized researchers at the cutting edge of science. In recent years, students have participated in studies of such issues as the neurological basis of laughter and yawning, how rats and people regulate eating, how infants "bond" to their parents, how nonhuman species learn complex tasks, the relations between behavior and heart disease, and what society can do to foster social and academic success of disadvantaged youth.
