Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies
at its meetingson November 7 and 14, 1978 gives rise to the follow-
ing motion:
MOTION
That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board
of GoVernors the following changes in the Psychology Program
as detailed in S78-138
(a)
Change in requirements for honors
(b)
New course PSYC 280-3, Biological Bases of Behaviour
(c)

(i)
New course PSYC 381-3, Introduction to Physiological
Psychology
(i) New course PSYC 382-3, Physiology and Complex
Behaviour
(k) Deletion of PSYC 415-5, Measurement
The new course PSYC 356-3,Developmental Disorders, was the
focus of particular attention on SCUS both with regard to prerequisites
and resources. After discussions with the Department of Biosciences,
BISC 202 was included as a recommended prerequisite. The library
reported that it did not carry all the resources listed for the
course but on further investigation the department indicated that
it was satisfied with the current resources and was prepared to
give the missing materials high priority from the Department's
library allocation in future years.

.
The Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee at its meeting of
October 19, 1978 approved the attached changes and new course
proposals for the Department of Psychology. The new course
proposals were distributed to other Faculties prior to the
meeting, with the understanding that other Faculty Committees
would have two weeks - until November 2, 1978, to respond
to the question of overlap with courses in their respective
faculties.
Please place these items on the agenda of the next SCUS ineeing.
Thank you.

RATIONALE:
The requirement that Honors students must present a program of 45 credits of
study for advance approval by the departmental Undergraduate Studies Committee
is to
be dropped. This requirement has proved to be unworkable, inastuch as
many students enter the Honors program when they have
less
than
45
credits
remaining, and
in
any case, the planned program is often impossible to follow
because of the infrequent offering of certain advanced courses.

PSYC 280-3
RATIONALE:
A reorganization of cour3es
in
physiological psychology is proposed. This
involves a splitting of the present Psyc 380 (Physiological psychology) into
two courses, Psyc 381 (Introduction to physiological psychology) and
Psyc 382
(Physiology of complex behavior). In addition, a prerequisite course,
Psyc 280 (Biological bases of behavior) is being introduced, and a laboratory
course, Psyc
300
(Laboratory in psychophysiology), which may be taken by students
In any of the other courses, is being added. The attached material provides
details about thenew courses.

RATIONALE:
A new course, Psyc
336
(Sensation II), is to be
added as an
expansion of the
subject matter now being taught. Although our
present
Psyc
335
is titled
"Sensation", it has never proved possible in one semester to cover more than
vision and audition, with perhaps one or two lectures acknowledging that there
• are other senses. It is proposed that the title of Psyc
335
be changed to
"Sensation I", that its course description be changed slightly to indicate
that the course content is confined to the visual and auditory senses, and
that Psyc
336
(Sensation II) be added to cover the senses of taste, smell, touch,
pressure, temperature, orientation, balance, muscle reception and pain. The
new course is described in the attached material,

Psychology course revisions
?
Date.... ?
..!.tE4/7.8
I've looked over your revisions and proposed new course
PSYCH
280, and have
discussed them with several members of the Biology Department. We see no
substantive overlap but would offer the following suggestions:
It would be useful for students planning to take PSYCH 280, or any further
Physiological Psychology courses to have at least an introductory
grounding in Physiology and Genetics. While it would be ideal if they
took BISC 305-3, Animal Physiology, this may be too much, considering the
Chemistry prerequisites. So my suggestion would be that they be required
to take BISC 101 (a form and functions course) and BISC 202 (Genetics).
Because of the usual prerequisites for BISC 202 you may wish to only
recommend Genetics.

means of a critical examination
of theories, issues and research findings concerned with the possible causes
and treatment of problems in a number of content areas in development. Students
should gain an understanding of the process of normal development as a context

COURSE CONrENT:
The objectives of the course will be to survey and examine critically
each of the following general problem areas:
Intellectual: intellectual development in normal and retarded
individuals; learning disabilities; speech, hearing, and language
disorders.
Emotional: psychotic and neurotic disorders of children.
Behavioral and Sociogenenic: hyperactivity; delinquency; aggression;
and problems of behavior control and management.
Each area will be considered according to the following framework:
1)
Theories and Models of Development and Developmental Disorders:
Freudian and Ego-Psychoanalytic; S-R Learning; Social Learning;,
Cognitive-Developmental.
2)
Related Treatment Approaches:
Analytic and Psychodynamic; Behavioristic; Cognitive; Social and
Observational Modelling; Cognitive-Behavior Modification; Adult
vs. Peer treatment; Individual vs. Group treatment models.
3)
Issues in the Treatment of Children:
Historical perspectives on developmental disorders of children;
Concepts of normal and "abnormal" development in childhood;
Contrasts between biological (medical), behavioral, and
educational intervention strategies.
4)
Etiological Factors:
The influence of genetics, congenital and biological factors,
social, and cognitive factors will be considered in relation to

The prevailing perspective overall will be to describe and attempt to
explain the current state of knowledge in several areas of developmental
deviation by setting these within the context of developmental psychology.

10 November 78
Of the six new course proposals submitted to the Library for assess-
ment, four of them (PSYC 280. 336, 381, and 382) are essentially a re-
organizatLn
ci.
eisting coucses and as such do not place new demands on
the collection. PS'C 300 'is a laboratory course which will be well
supported by che matc-:i.as now in the science collection.
PSYC 356 - Developmental Disorders is the only proposal which cur-
rent holdings do not appear to support adequately. We lack 11 of the 28
monographs and 5 of 24 serials on the reading list, which is indicative of
our general weakness in an area with a large bibliography.
i
sJanet Strayer has advised us that 90% of the readings will be from
textbooks, while the remaining 10% will use other sources, and that there
will be considerable reliance on materials currently being acquired for the
new applied and clinical psychology program. Also, the projected enrolment
of 1.5 to 20 students should not place too great a burden on library resources.
It should be noted that materials acquired for courses in learning disabili-
ties (EDUC 326 and 422) will be of use to students in PSYC 356.
In view of the above information, the price of bringing the strength
of the collections up to a desirable level can be relatively modest. Our
estimate of costs are as follows:
Monographs
(20-30 titles @ a
y
. $25.00) ?
$600
Serials
(6 subscriptions @ $20-$60)
