Psychology - Cognitive (73)A shared Eye-Tracking Laboratory (ELT) has been established at the University of Richmond to advance undergraduate coursework and research. This laboratory is modeled after a similar one at the University of Chicago, but has been adapted for primary use by undergraduate students. Although eye tracking is being increasingly used for research in psychology, engineering, human factors, and education, students at primarily undergraduate institutions rarely gain experience with this advanced technology. The goal of the proposed ELT is to give students a greater understanding of advanced research methodologies in psychology, greater preparation for advanced study in a variety of related fields, and a deeper understanding of mind, brain, and eye. The ELT enhances the curriculum of advanced research methods courses in social psychology, cognitive psychology, cognitive science, adult development, and behavioral neuroscience. This lab is being used to demonstrate prior findings, and to conduct experiments that extend earlier work. In addition, students in these advanced methods courses are learning how to collect and analyze eye-tracking data in order to investigate their own research questions. Students who have been trained in eye tracking also have the opportunity to use the ELT for independent research projects under the direction of the principal investigator or co-principal investigators. Typically, 35 psychology majors conduct independent research at the University of Richmond Psychology Department each year.

心理学-认知学(73)里士满大学建立了一个共享的眼球跟踪实验室(ELT)，以推进本科生的课程和研究。这个实验室仿照芝加哥大学的一个类似的实验室，但已被本科生改装为主要用途。尽管眼球跟踪越来越多地被用于心理学、工程学、人的因素和教育方面的研究，但主要是本科生的学生很少获得使用这项先进技术的经验。建议的英语教学的目标是让学生更好地理解心理学中的高级研究方法，为在各种相关领域的高级学习做更好的准备，并对心灵、大脑和眼睛有更深的理解。英语教学加强了社会心理学、认知心理学、认知科学、成人发展和行为神经科学等高级研究方法课程的课程设置。这个实验室被用来证明以前的发现，并进行扩展早期工作的实验。此外，这些高级方法课程的学生正在学习如何收集和分析眼球跟踪数据，以便调查他们自己的研究问题。接受过眼球跟踪培训的学生也有机会在首席调查员或联合首席调查员的指导下，将ELT用于独立的研究项目。通常情况下，每年有35名心理学专业的学生在里士满大学心理学系进行独立研究。
