Improvement of Instrumentation and Instructional Format in Physiological Psychology

该项目为一门生理心理学课程的六个实验室部分，每学期为120名学生提供五个生理记录仪。对行为的生理基础的研究需要对生理反应的准确监测和记录。为这个项目提供的设备允许高年级本科生获得必要的实践经验，如果他们要掌握生物学和行为之间的关系，并了解发现这些关系的技术。当生理心理学课不需要时，该设备用于心理学入门课和研究方法课的演示。此外，该设备还显著增加了本科生进行生理心理学研究的自主研究项目的数量和质量。获奖者将从受赠人那里获得等额的奖励。

This project provides five physiological recording instruments for 120 students per semester in six laboratory sections of a course in physiological psychology. The study of the physiological bases of behavior requires accurate monitoring and recording of physiological responses. The equipment provided for this project allows the upper division undergraduate students to gain the necessary hands on experience if they are to grasp the relationship between biology and behavior and to understand the techniques by which these relationships are discovered. When not needed for the physiological psychology classes, the equipment is employed in demonstrations in the introductory psychology classes and research methods classes. In addition, The equipment significantly increases the quantity and quality of independent research projects carried out by undergraduate students doing research in physiological psychology. The award will be matched by an equal amount from the grantee.
