Conference on Neurobiology Techniques, Cognition and Computer Simulation for 20 Faculty Who Teach Undergraduate Experimental Psychology, Summer 1990

这次会议满足了本科实验心理学教师的需求，他们缺乏对当前神经生物学技术和计算机程序的第一手经验，无法获得学习、感知和认知方面的实验室经验。它还允许这些人与该领域的领先专家互动。参与者正在学习基本的神经生物学技术，开发基于计算机的实验室程序，参与教学概念的网络交流，学习在他们的家庭机构建立现代计算机驱动的操作实验室，讨论重要的研究和综述文章，并与实验心理学和神经生物学的领先专家互动。20名教职员工在校园里花了两周时间学习神经生物学技术、计算机模拟和查阅文献，然后第三周在平瑞公园山校区与8名专家互动。学员将带着增强的教学技能和主题内容，以及对改善本科生实验室体验的见解，回到他们的母校。

The conference addresses the need of undergraduate experimental psychology faculty who lack first-hand experience with current neurobiology techniques and computer programs for laboratory experiences in learning, perception and cognition. It also permits such individuals to interact with leading experts in the field. Participants are acquiring basic neurobiology techniques, developing computer-based laboratory programs, participating in a network exchange of teaching concepts, learning to establish modern computer-driven operant laboratories at their home institutions, discussing significant research and review articles, and interacting with leading experts in experimental psychology and neurobiology. The twenty faculty are spending two weeks on campus studying neurobiology techniques, computer simulation and reviewing literature followed by a third week interacting with eight experts at the Pingree Park mountain campus. Participants will return to their home institution with enhanced teaching skills and subject matter content as well as insights into improving laboratory experiences for undergraduates.
