Two psychology labs for developing and conducting experiments. Collaborate with faculty research in areas such as sensation and perception, metaphor and cognition, and the psychology of virtual environments. Senior projects that regularly lead to publication and opportunities for students to present at academic conferences. » The Psychology of AI Psychology – the scientific study of mind and behavior – is deeply intertwined with AI. In one way, psychology influenced the development of AI, as many of the algorithms that AI models are based on, such as neural networks and reinforcement learning, were modelled after psychological theories of learning and cognition. In another way, AI is influencing psychology, as it is changing the way we behave and interact with other people and increasingly, with machines. This raises so many questions for psychology to explore, such as does AI learn and perform similar to a human being Is human intelligence different from AI Can we be too dependent on AI At LTU, our psychology program prepares students to take on a meaningful perspective on AI, by learning about how it is related to our psychology, and importantly, what makes it different from us. This leaves our students with a unique understanding of how AI is built and how it can be effectively used in both industry and academia. Students will encounter AI-related content throughout multiple psychology courses, but especially in Cognitive Psychology, Human-Computer Interaction, and Psychology of Language. Moreover, students have the opportunity to research AI with faculty in the lab to test its limits in comparison with humans. These experiences will prepare students to be well equipped in our rapidly changing, technological world. AI models learn from analyzing word-patterns from large
