Undergraduate Laboratory in Experimental Psychology

该奖项将帮助资助创建一个12站，计算机- 用于心理生物学实验教学的受控实验室， 听觉、视觉、人类信息处理、统计学和 研究方法在心理学系在洛约拉 芝加哥大学。 这12个站将联网， 该软件可以在站之间共享，因此每个站都可以 进入大学的主机和图书馆 行数据库 该设施提供的所有课程都强调 “动手”的学习方法，要求学生 参与实验运行，图形演示 数据和数据分析。 该提案旨在扩大和 补充现有设施，该设施已用于实验室， 心理生物学、视觉实验室和听觉实验室。 软件将 将12个计算机站中的每一个变成 一个功能齐全的实验室，其中四个站配备了 具有测量、信号生成和生理记录功能 两个感官实验室和实验室所需的设备 心理生物学。 受资助机构正在匹配此NSF 从非联邦来源获得资金。

This award will help fund the creation of a 12-station, computer- controlled laboratory for the teaching of labs in Psychobiology, Hearing, Vision, Human Information Processing, Statistics, and Research Methods in the Department of Psychology at Loyola University of Chicago. The twelve stations will be networked so that software can be shared among the stations and so each can access the University's mainframe computer and the library's on- line data base. All courses offered in the facility emphasize "hand-on" approaches to learning, with students required to participate in the running of experiments, graphic presentation of the data, and data analysis. The proposal seeks to expand and supplement the existing facility, which has been used for Lab in Psychobiology, Lab in Vision, and Lab in Hearing. Software will be acquired that turns each of the twelve computer stations into a fully-functional laboratory, with four of the stations equipped with measurement, signal-generation, and physiological recording equipment necessary for the two sensory labs and Lab in Psychobiology. The grantee institution is matching this NSF award with funds from non-Federal sources.
