The Department of Psychology at UTA requests support to initiate a laboratory course in Artificial Intelligence and to improve laboratories in Experimental Psychology, Cognitive Processes, and Sensory and Perceptual Processes. Much modern psychological research uses computers for measurement and control of response and event times, and to generate stimulus displays. We currently use Commodore C-64 computers in existing laboratory courses for these functions. The C-64s were once cost-effective but are now obsolete, with modest memory and limited graphics. We propose to replace them with IBM- compatible computers with VGA monitors and the capacity to store programs, graphic and other displays, data, and system and language files for the various courses. We propose to purchase Micro Experimental Laboratory software and pcSTEREOSCOPE hard and software to perform experiments, and to purchase LISP for the new Al laboratory course. This will improve laboratory instruction by at least an order of magnitude, enabling us to perform many experiments that cannot currently be conducted. It will increase the diversity of laboratory courses and enable students to conduct more significant and creative final projects in each course. At non- classroom times the equipment will be used for independent study and honors projects, providing enhanced research opportunities to our most able students.

UTA心理学系请求支持， 开设人工智能实验室课程， 改善实验心理学、认知心理学、 过程，以及感觉和知觉过程。许多现代 心理学研究使用计算机进行测量， 控制反应和事件时间，并产生刺激 显示屏我们目前在现有的计算机系统中使用的是C-64计算机。 这些功能的实验室课程。 C-64曾经是 具有成本效益，但现在已经过时，内存适中， 有限的图形。我们建议用IBM来取代他们- 兼容的计算机，配备VGA显示器， 存储程序、图形和其它显示、数据和系统 以及各种课程的语言文件。 我们建议 购买微型实验室软件， pcSTEREOSCOPE硬件和软件进行实验，并 为新的Al实验室课程购买LISP。这将 改进实验室教学，至少提高 这使我们能够进行许多无法进行的实验。 目前正在进行。它将增加多样性， 实验室课程，使学生能够进行更多的 在每门课程中的重要和创造性的最终项目。在非- 课堂时间的设备将用于独立 研究和荣誉项目，提供增强的研究 给我们最有能力的学生提供机会。
