A computer-based laboratory with a primary emphasis on research in cognition is being developed. With multipurpose computer interfacing with lab instrumentation and with comprehensive software packages, students are able to conduct experiments, computer simulations, and exercises for lab classes accompanying courses in cognitive psychology, physiological psychology, and psychology of learning and for undergraduate independent study and senior thesis research. Labs in cognitive psychology feature experiments on topics such as perception, memory, and prose comprehension. Electrophysiological recording and other equipment used in physiological psychology labs give students hands-on opportunities to study electro-physiological and neuropsychological factors of cognitive processing (e.g. evoked potentials.) The grant also upgrades and improves current learning labs; for example, it incorporates simulations of classical conditioning, experiments on concept formation, and biofeedback research. Also, students interested in conducting their own research have far more options than currently available. In summary, this grant gives students opportunities to become familiar with the use of computers and modern scientific equipment as well as helping them develop the scientific skills and understanding necessary to participate more fully in the reserach process in psychology. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.

正在开发一个以计算机为基础的实验室，主要侧重于认知研究。通过与实验仪器的多用途计算机接口和全面的软件包，学生可以在认知心理学、生理心理学、学习心理学等课程的实验课上进行实验、计算机模拟和练习，并可以进行本科自主学习和毕业论文研究。认知心理学的实验室以感知、记忆和散文理解等主题为特色。生理心理学实验室中使用的电生理记录仪和其他设备为学生提供了动手研究认知加工的电生理和神经心理因素（如诱发电位）的机会。赠款还升级和改进了现有的学习实验室；例如，它结合了经典条件反射的模拟、概念形成的实验和生物反馈研究。此外，有兴趣进行自己研究的学生有比目前更多的选择。总之，这项资助使学生有机会熟悉计算机和现代科学设备的使用，并帮助他们发展科学技能和理解，以便更充分地参与心理学的研究过程。该机构正以等额的资金配合国家科学基金的拨款。
