Microcomputer Laboratory for Undergraduate Cognitive Psychology Research

目前，由于缺乏现代化的计算机化设备， 刺激呈现、反应测量和数据分析 严重阻碍了学生在复杂的训练 研究认知过程所需的研究方法。 该项目将建立一个由七台麦金塔电脑组成的网络， 微型计算机，以改善教学研究方法和 心理学专业的认知心理学。 低年级研究方法课，两个高年级 实验室课程，中级统计课程，以及 个别学生的研究项目将采用新的 设备. 重要的是，学生有足够的 在这方面的培训，因为重要的作用认知 心理学在更大的心理学领域中发挥作用， 快速发展的跨学科领域， 认知科学

Currently, the lack of modern equipment for computerized stimulus presentation, response measurement and data analysis seriously hampers the training of students in the sophisticated research methods needed to investigate cognitive processes. This project will establish a network of seven Macintosh microcomputers to improve instruction in research methods and cognitive psychology for undergraduate psychology majors. Lower-division research methods classes, two upper-division laboratory courses, an intermediate statistics course, and individual student research projects will employ the new equipment. It is essential that students have adequate training in this area because of the important role cognitive psychology plays within the larger field of psychology and in the rapidly advancing interdisciplinary field known as cognitive science.
