A National Model for the Undergraduate Laboratory in Research

9451359麦克惠尼实验室的微型计算机已经成为进行心理学实验的重要工具。因此，该项目支持部署一种名为心理作用器的计算机程序，以消除这一技术障碍。正在开发一个国家原型，将该方案用作心理学研究方法论教学的骨干。这个原型的构建包括完成(1)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。通过一个由大学和学院组成的联盟，我们计划在全国推广这一原型。预计该系统在全国范围内的成功部署将使下一代实验心理学家的研究培训得到重大改进。

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.
