Computerized Enhancement in Cognition, Sensation & Perception, Test & Measurement, and Physiological Psychology Laboratories

这个项目正在开发一个用于教学、学生研究和技术培训的联网计算机设施。 它导致认知、感觉和知觉、测试和测量以及生理心理学方面的心理学课程和实验室的改进。该设施的目的是提供机会，通过直接经验，扩大学生和教师的研究可能性，并在技术作为信息源，研究工具和通信工具的培训，提高学生对概念和研究方法的理解。教学设施配备了17台配备奔腾处理器的Apple Power Mac G3电脑。 这种设备的选择将允许操作Macintosh和MS-DOS/ Windows软件。该设施配备了各种教育心理学软件。 特别是，我们正在实施一个包的15个实验，已开发的本科使用的认知和感知，在MS-DOS平台上运行，和一个包的里程碑式的实验在内存和认知运行在Macintosh操作系统平台上。 我们的设施和技术到我们的课程的实施这增强导致我们的本科教学质量，在部门的师生研究的质量，以及我们作为一个突出的教育领导者的声誉显着改善。

This project is developing a networked computer facility for instruction, student research, and technology training. It is leading to improved psychology courses and laboratories in cognition, sensation and perception, test and measurement, and physiological psychology. This facility has been designed to provide opportunities for enhanced student understanding of concepts and research methodology through direct experience, expanded student and faculty research possibilities, and training in technology as an information source, a research tool, and a communication tool. The instructional facility is being equipped with 17 Apple Power Mac G3 computers with Pentium processors. This choice of equipment will allow the operation of both Macintosh and MS-DOS/ Windows based software. This facility is being equipped with a variety of educational psychology software. In particular, we are implementing a package of 15 experiments that have been developed for undergraduate use in Cognition and Perception, running on an MS-DOS platform, and a package of landmark experiments in Memory and Cognition running on the Macintosh Operating System platform. This enhancement of our facilities and the implementation of technology into our curriculum is leading to significant improvements in the quality of our undergraduate instruction, the quality of student-faculty research in the department, and our reputation as a prominent educational leader.
