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

该项目正在开发一个网络计算机设施，用于教学、学生研究和技术培训。它正在改善认知、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。这一设施旨在通过直接体验、扩大学生和教师的研究可能性，以及作为信息源、研究工具和交流工具的技术培训，为增强学生对概念和研究方法的理解提供机会。该教学设施配备了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运行基于Macintosh和MS-DOS/Windows的软件。这个设施配备了各种教育心理学软件。特别是，我们正在实施一个由15个实验组成的包，这些实验是为在MS-DOS平台上运行的本科生使用的认知和感知开发的，以及在Macintosh操作系统平台上运行的具有里程碑意义的记忆和认知实验包。我们设备的改进和技术在我们课程中的应用使我们的本科教学质量、系内师生研究的质量以及我们作为杰出教育领导者的声誉都有了显著的提高。

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.
