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

该会议解决了缺乏当前神经生物学技术和计算机程序第一手经验的本科生实验心理学教师在学习，感知和认知方面的实验室经验的需求。它还允许这些人与该领域的顶尖专家进行互动。参与者将获得基本的神经生物学技术，开发基于计算机的实验室计划，参与教学概念的网络交流，学习在其本国机构建立现代计算机驱动的操作实验室，讨论重要的研究和评论文章，并与实验心理学和神经生物学的顶尖专家交流。20名教师将在校园里花两周时间学习神经生物学技术、计算机模拟和复习文献，然后在第三周与Pingree Park山校区的8位专家进行交流。参与者将带着提高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家乡机构。

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.
