A National Model for the Undergraduate Laboratory in Research

实验室的微型计算机已成为进行心理学实验的重要工具。因此，该项目支持一种名为PsyScope的计算机程序的部署，它将消除这一技术障碍。目前正在开发一个国家原型，将这个项目作为心理学研究方法论教学的支柱。这个原型的构建包括完成(1)一本入门手册，(2)一系列标准实验类型，以及(3)建立将实验设计与统计分析程序联系起来的工具。通过大学和学院的合作，我们计划在全国范围内传播这个原型。该系统在全国范围内的成功部署，也有望使下一代实验心理学家的研究培训得到重大改善。

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.
