UC San Diego Psychology
The Department of Psychology at UCSD consistently ranks among the top experimental psychology programs in the country. From its founding in 1965 by George Mandler, the department now names among its faculty many of the world's leading experts in cognition, learning, memory, perception, attention, language, autism, emotion, and social relationships. Our success is based in part on the strong tradition of interdisciplinary research at UCSD, and many faculty maintain collaborative relationships with campus units including Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, UCSD's Medical School, Rady School of Management, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Our forward-looking perspective and rich collaborative environment offers a unique opportunity for cutting-edge research that is changing the face of modern psychology.
The Psychology Department wishes to acknowledge the contributions of Distinguished Professor Emeritus Norman Henry Anderson. Dr. Anderson's extraordinary generosity and dedication to supporting excellence in research and teaching in Psychology cannot be overstated. His support reaches to faculty, graduate and undergraduate student populations to encourage collaboration and exploration that otherwise would not be possible.
