Instructional Computer Laboratory for Intro. Stats., Intro. Labs, and Advanced Labs

一个互动式微型计算机实验室正在建立中，以增强心理学专业本科生的教学和研究体验。它影响着所有的专业，因为它们在四年的实验室序列中工作，该序列旨在建立1.研究设计逻辑中涉及的认知技能，2.实施研究设计的实验室技术，3.数据分析技能，4.在研究项目的发起和交流中的独立性，以及5.作为学者-科学家的职业认同感。在以下方面提供了指导：1.连接计算机以控制人类和动物实验的刺激呈现，2.环境控制的计算机编程，3.实时数据采集，以及4.交互数据分析。模拟程序也被用来向学生介绍这一研究策略，并研究以其他方式无法调查的现象。这所大学将捐赠一笔相当于该奖项的金额。

An interactive microcomputer laboratory is being established to enhance instructional and research experiences for undergraduate psychology majors. It impacts all majors as they work through a four- year laboratory sequence which has been designed to build 1. cognitive skills involved in the logic of research design, 2. laboratory techniques to implement research designs, 3. data analytic skills, 4. independence in the initiation and communication of research projects, and 5. identification with the profession as scholar-scientists. Instruction is being provided in 1. interfacing computers to control the presentation of stimuli for human and animal experiments, 2. computer programming for environmental control, 3. real-time data acquisition, and 4. interactive data analysis. Simulation programs are also used to introduce students to this research strategy and to study phenomena which cannot otherwise be investigated. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
