This proposal seeks funds to upgrade our Research Methodology Laboratory by replacing the current Apple IIe microcomputers with Macintosh LC microcomputers connected to a local area network (LAN) Psychology majors in their sophomore year will acquire some laboratory experience with data collection and data analysis that represent state of the art technology, and these "hands-on" laboratory experiences will provide pre- requisite skills necessary for more advanced courses in psychology. Exposure of the students to up-to-date equipment and comtemporary research methods will enhance the quality of instruction. Furthermore, the department will expand its undergraduate facility from stand-alone work-stations to a LAN with increased memory capacity and access to the campus LAN. This project is significant because it will remove the present frustration encumbered by both faculty and students who must use limited outdated equipment, and it will enable instructors to incorporate state of the art demonstrations of psychological phenomenon in a number of other psychology courses.

这项提议寻求资金来升级我们的研究方法实验室，用连接到局域网(LAN)的Macintosh LC微型计算机取代目前的Apple IIe微型计算机。心理学专业的二年级学生将获得一些代表最先进技术的数据收集和数据分析的实验室经验，这些“动手”的实验室经验将为更高级的心理学课程提供必要的必备技能。让学生接触到最新的设备和当代的研究方法，将提高教学质量。此外，该系将把其本科生设施从独立的工作站扩展为具有更大存储容量和访问校园局域网的局域网。这个项目意义重大，因为它将消除目前教师和学生都必须使用有限的过时设备的挫折感，它将使教师能够在许多其他心理学课程中融入最先进的心理现象演示。
