该项目的目标是提高 心理学本科实验室教育. 丹佛大都会州立学院（MSCD），并提供 增加学生对当前计算机技术的体验。 心理学系已经建立了一个强大的统计数据 和方法论的要求。 学生 接触实验目前仅限于两个- 学期必修研究方法课程顺序。 的 部门致力于提供直接的实验 在一个发展健全的序列的经验，开始与 心理学导论中使用单一主题的演示 通过研究设计、数据收集和 在诸如感觉和知觉等内容课程中进行分析， 认知心理学和学习心理学。 的 实践研究活动和示范将扩大 学生接触的基本原则和概念 科学方法，提高他们的技术和 实验技能

The goal of the project is to increase the quality of undergraduate laboratory education in psychology at Metropolitan State College of Denver (MSCD) and to provide increased student experience with current computer technology. The Psychology Department has established a strong statistics and methodological requirement in its curriculum. Students' exposure to experimentation is currently limited to the two- semester required research methods course sequence. The department is committed to providing direct experimental experience in a developmentally sound sequence, beginning with demonstrations using single subjects in Introductory Psychology and progressing through research design, data collection, and analysis in such content courses as Sensation and Perception, Cognitive Psychology, and the Psychology of Learning. The hands-on research activities and demonstrations will broaden student contact with basic principles and concepts of scientific methodology and increase their technological and experimental skills.
