A National Model for the Undergraduate Laboratory in Research

9451359 MacWhinney 实验室微型计算机已成为进行心理学实验的重要工具。因此，该项目支持部署名为 PsyScope 的计算机程序，该程序将消除这一技术障碍。正在开发一个国家原型，以将该计划用作心理学研究方法学教学的支柱。该原型的构建涉及完成（1）介绍性手册，（2）一系列标准实验类型，以及（3）构建将实验设计与统计分析程序联系起来的工具。我们计划通过大学和学院联盟的合作，在全国范围内传播这个原型。预计该系统在全国范围内的成功部署将极大改善下一代实验心理学家的研究培训。

9451359 MacWhinney The laboratory microcomputer has become a crucial tool for conducting experiments in psychology. This project therefore supports the deployment of a computer program, called PsyScope, that will remove this technological barrier. A national prototype is being developed for the use of this program as the backbone for the teaching of Research Methodology in Psychology. Construction of this prototype involves completion of (1) an introductory manual, (2) a series of standard experiment types, and (3) the building of tools for linking experimental design to statistical analysis programs. Working through a consortium of universities and colleges, we plan to disseminate this prototype throughout the nation. It is also expected that successful deployment of this system nationwide will lead to a major improvement in the research training of the future generation of experimental psychologists.
