  1. I have read books here and there that explain within the book the amount of neuroscience or general biology necessary to understand the rest of the book. However, my majors are in philosophy and psychology, and my biological knowledge is not deep compared to someone who majored or even minored in biology. If I were interested in researching sleep and memory, which can best be understood and discussed through neuroscience, is my entering such a program: a) highly unlikely because no one would accept me wbased on that deficit, a bad idea anyway because I will be behind and crushed by the workload + "catching up," or c) workable and a good idea if that is my interest because not everyone has the most apposite undergrad degree, and I could learn along the way, because learning along the way is essential what school means? Im asking because I don't know if I'll have to be familiar with neurophysics or the like in order to do cognitive rearch. Sorry for the naivete.
  2. Would anyone please illuminate any reason for choosing one over the other, if my goal is to study learning and memory? There seem to be so few 'cognitive psychology' programs, but far more 'experimental psychology' programs. If the faculty at a given school is doing research in that area anyway, would it make a difference which path I took?
