A Macintosh Based Audio-Visual Laboratory for the Teaching of Experimental Psychology

9451915 Johnston这个项目通过提供基于引人注目的视觉、听觉和认知效果的创造性、动手实验课程来增强实验心理学，为科学方法的好处提供了一个很好的入口。受影响的具体课程包括视觉感知、学习记忆和神经科学。具有专用音频和视频硬件的微型计算机提供直观的用户界面和出色的图形功能。一套绘图、绘画、渲染和动画软件包提供了生成当前研究兴趣的大多数感知现象的能力。此外，学生将能够创建自己的刺激，运行实验，并分析他们的数据，而不需要计算机编程技能。

9451915 Johnston This project enhances experimental psychology by providing creative, hands on laboratory courses based on compelling visual, auditory, and cognitive effects that provide a good entry to the benefits of the scientific method. Specific courses affected by include visual perception, learning and memory, and neuroscience. Microcomputers with specialized audio and video hardware offer an intuitive user interface and excellent graphical capabilities. A suite of drawing, painting, rendering, and animation software packages provide the capability to generate most perceptual phenomena of current research interest. Also, students will be able to create their own stimuli, run experiments, and analyze their data without the need for computer programming skills.
