History

(File:Eno Hall.gif|thumb|right|Eno Hall (1924))In 1893, fourteen years after Wilhelm Wundt founded the first psychology laboratory in the world, a Psychology Laboratory was built in Nassau Hall, the oldest building in the university, under the leadership of J. Mark Baldwin. In 1915, psychology received recognition in the title when the department was renamed Department of Philosophy and Psychology. It was not until 1920, however, that the Department of Psychology was established with Howard Warren as its first chairman. In 1924, Eno Hall was constructed to house the department. The building was named in honor of Henry Eno, the principal donor and research associate in psychology. Warren was also a donor, but he chose to keep his donation anonymous at the time. He commented that it was "the first laboratory in this country, if not in the world, dedicated solely to the teaching and investigation of scientific psychology."Eno Hall from BOOK, Leitch, Alexander, A Princeton Companion, 2015, Princeton University Press, 9781400870011, According to university president John Hibben, the laboratory was the realization of a dream that Warren had cherished for a long time.University president James McCosh was primary professor of psychology in the early days of the department.Maier, B. N. (2004). The role of James McCosh in God's exile from psychology. History of Psychology, 7(4), 323-339. Baldwin, who studied under both McCosh and Wundt, continued this tradition.(File:Green Hall2.jpg|thumb|right|Green Hall (c. 1996))An Office of Public Opinion Research was established when Hadley Cantril was department head: The Office's 1947 report Gauging Public Opinion noted the arrival of a new discipline: In 1963, the department relocated to Green Hall on the corner of Washington St. and William St. The building, which had been previously occupied by the School of Engineering, was redesigned by university alumnus Francis W. Roudebush for the use of the psychology and sociology departments.Green Hall from BOOK, Leitch, Alexander, A Princeton Companion, 2015, Princeton University Press, 9781400870011, In 1972, the Princeton Psychology Colloquium Committee, which schedules weekly speeches and discussions for psychology students, invited Richard Herrnstein, psychology professor at Harvard University to speak about the vision of pigeons.Herrnstein feels threatened, cancels Princeton appearance. (1972). The Harvard Crimson. Retrieved August 6, 2008. At the time, Herrnstein was the victim of serious criticism because he had written an article in which he argued that genetic differences would play an increasingly larger role in the determination of social status.Heyman, G. M., Maher, B. A., White, S. H., & Wilson, J. Q. (1998). Faculty of Arts and Sciences, memorial minute. The Harvard University Gazette. Retrieved August 6, 2008. Because Princeton's University Action Group, a radical student organization, threatened to sabotage the event on the grounds that Herrnstein was a racist, the Harvard professor canceled his appearance. Kamin asserted that "the climate in which [Herrnstein's] decision was made raises serious questions about freedom of speech."Most of the department's graduates from the classes of 2004 to 2007 had placements in the faculties of research universities and post-doctoral positions. Thanks to a group of faculty and students who work across traditional disciplines and departments, interdisciplinary research and scholarship in the department has grown significantly since the end of the twentieth century.In December, 2013, the department relocated to the newly built Peretsman-Scully Hall, located farther down Washington Road on the southeast side of Poe Field.

Academic

The quality of the department's teaching and research has been recognized by several sources. The department's graduate program has been ranked fifth best in the United States by U.S. News & World Report (USNWR),U.S. News & World Report. (2008). America's Best Graduate Schools: Psychology. Retrieved July 10, 2008. and twelfth best in the United States by the National Research Council.National Research Council report as referenced by the Social Psychology Network.

Graduate

The graduate study is focused on systems neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, perception and cognition, personality and social psychology, and physiological psychology. It is a preparatory program for a Ph.D., which takes approximately five years to complete, and a career of scholarship in psychology.Princeton University Department of Psychology. (2004).

Retrieved July 10, 2008.Laboratory units are organized around the research programs of the faculty. These programs range from animal motivation and conditioning processes to decision making in human social groups, from neurophysiological mechanisms controlling basic drives to attributional processes in judging other individuals, from the sensory and perceptual roots of human cognition to concept formation and problem solving behavior in the child and adult, from the mathematical and computer techniques employed in research to the mechanisms of attitude formation and change.Admission to the graduate program is highly competitive. The number of applications received by the department has risen steadily from 2003 to 2007 and, consequently, the admission rate has declined accordingly. In 2003, twenty out of 192 applicants were accepted. Though seventeen applicants were admitted to the program in 2007, the applicant pool had almost fifty more applicants than the applicant pool from four years earlier.Men are better represented in the department's student body than in the student bodies of most psychology graduate programs in the United States. Women account for about half of the department's graduate student body, even though women made up 68 percent of the recipients of doctoral degrees in psychology in 2005.National Science Foundation.

Program in cognitive psychology

The department was "a presence in the burgeoning field of cognitive psychology."Stevens, R. (2006). Ronald Kinchla, longtime professor of psychology, dies. News at Princeton. Retrieved July 9, 2008. The research of the cognitive psychology program's faculty spans a wide set of issues within the study of cognitive processes that include cognitive control, memory, judgment and decision making, language processing, reasoning, and visual perception. The highly interdisciplinary quality of these topics of study results in research that is interactive and multifaceted. Most of the research is conducted at the intersection of fields like computer science and neuroscience.As of 2015, Princeton announced the new Program in Cognitive Science, an interdisciplinary undertaking involving scholars from Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Linguistics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology.

Equipment and facilities

(File:Green Hall fMRI.jpg|thumb|right|fMRI scanner in the basement of Green Hall)The department is closely affiliated with the Center for the Study of Brain, Mind, and Behavior (CSBMB), which fosters research on the neural underpinnings of psychological function. The CSBMB houses facilities for the study of brain function, including a research-dedicated, high-field fMRI scanner, an EEG laboratory, a TMS coil, an eye tracking laboratory, and high-performance computing facilities for data analysis and computational modeling.Trustees of Princeton University, The.

Unique among research institutions that own and operate fMRI scanners, the CSBMB is the first facility to own a scanner that is run solely by neuroscientists that conduct basic research. Most scanners in the United States are located in clinical settings and are utilized primarily in applied research.When the university unveiled its $1.75 billion capital campaign in 2007, it allocated $300 million to build a {{convert|240000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} headquarters for the department on a site of about {{convert|98|acre|m2}}.Narain, C.

Psychology Library

In 1963, the department moved to Green Hall; a room located next to the lobby in the first floor served as the department's academic library. In 1968, two more rooms were added to house monographs and journal stacks. In 1990, the third journal room was moved into the basement to accommodate compact shelving. The Psychology Library, a branch of Princeton University Library, underwent significant renovations in 2002. The basement room was no longer used because the library gained a Reading Room, which has become a popular study space for psychology concentrators. A ramp that leads to the second room was built to ease the reshelving of materials. A librarian's office was built next to one of the computer clusters.As of 2006, the Psychology Library contains a large collection of material.Chaikin, M. (2006).
