Computer Based Laboratory For Research Methods Instruction in Psychology

许多类型的心理学研究都涉及到使用计算机来产生刺激材料、编码和分析实证结果。为了充分指导和训练学生进行心理学研究，有必要让他们接触到基于计算机的实验。加州大学河滨分校（University of California at Riverside）正在建立一个计算机实验室，用于心理学系所有心理学专业本科生必修的研究方法课程。关于认知、感知、人机交互、社会心理学、心理语言学、学习和记忆的演示和实验正在为本科生实验室开发和实施研究方法。此外，该设备可用于这些心理学主题领域的课程教学演示。

Many types of research in psychology involve the use of computers for generating stimulus materials and encoding and analyzing empirical results. In order to adequately instruct and train students in conducting research in psychology it is essential that they be exposed to computer-based experiments. The University of California at Riverside is establishing a computer-based lab for the undergraduate research methods course required of all undergraduate psychology majors in the Psychology Department. Demonstrations and experiments on cognition, perception, human-computer interaction, social psychology, psycholinguistics, and learning and memory are being developed and implemented for undergraduate labs in research methods. In addition, the equipment is available for instructional demonstrations for courses in these topical areas of psychology.
