The faculty members are diverse in their interests but unified in their commitment to excellence in research, training, and teaching. Our more than 50 tenure-track faculty in Psychological Sciences at Vanderbilt are organized into five core areas of concentraion:

• Clinical Science
• Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience
• Developmental Science
• Neuroscience
• Quantitative Methods and Evaluation

Note that many of the faculty are members of more than one area of concentration. Some faculty are also affiliated with an interdisciplinary program in Social Psychology.

Teaching and research interests include basic neurophysiology and learning in animals, cognitive and neuropsychological functioning in humans, perceptual and cognitive processes, social and cognitive development, educational and health psychology, statistical methods for understanding growth and change, ethics and public policy, and the etiology, prevention, and treatment of psychopathology. Psychological Sciences at Vanderbilt is thus a surprisingly large and diversified discipline, especially given the relatively small undergraduate population of 5,000.
