When Dr. Clessen Martin came to
Texas A&M in 1970, the psychology
department was nestled in the
basement of Bolton Hall. Psychology
students spent time sitting around a
table drinking coffee and shooting
the breeze.
Today, the psychology depart
ment at Texas A&M occupies the
fourth floor of the Academic build
ing. Nearly 3,000 undergraduate and
graduate students are enrolled in
psychology courses, and the de
partment is expanding both its
facilities and its scope of activites.
Dr. Martin, head of the Psychol
ogy Department, said that in the last
two years six new faculty members
have been hired, and, next week a
proposal for a doctoral program in
applied psychology at A&M will go
before the Academic Council.
“We are now at a point where we
feel we can offer a doctoral prog
ram,” Martin said.
To handle the increase in students
and faculty, labs are being con
structed in the Academic building.
Fourteen cubicles are nearly com
plete which will be used for a wide
range of individual or group experi
ments. An example would be per
ception research which deals with
the reception and processing of the
senses — sight, sound and smell.
The department has a completely
shielded isolation chamber for simi
lar research. “The reason we have
this is because there is a lot of in
monitoring brain activity, heart rate
and other physiological functions,”
Martin said. The shielded room
blocks out any type of outside radio
waves and electrical activity which
would interfere with such research.
“We’ve really got, in psychology,
two major areas of research: animal
and human,” Martin explained.
Human research can range from in
dividual work to group “social
psychological” research, such as the
study of the effects of competition on
problem solving, he said.

to have rooms where you can get six
or eight people in and view their be
havior unobtrusively. We do that
with one-way mirrors,” Martin said.
The department has two rooms
which are equiped with the mirrors.
In animal research, white rats are
traditionally used, due to their ease
of care and relative intelligence.
Steve Roop, a graduate assistant in
psychology, is experimenting with
rats as part of his master’s thesis. He
explained why rats are useful in
psychological research: “Animal re
search is a proving ground for later
application to humans. The same
basic principles hold true, and basic
learning processes are the same
whether in a rat, a man or a chimp. ”
Roop’s experiments involve man
ipulating the reward given to a rat for
doing a certain task, in this case run
ning down a straight alley. The speed
of the run is measured as an indica
tion of motivation.
