Computer Based Laboratory For Research Methods Instruction in Psychology

心理学中的许多类型的研究涉及使用计算机来生成刺激材料，并对经验结果进行编码和分析。为了充分指导和培训学生进行心理学研究，让他们接触到基于计算机的实验是必不可少的。加州大学河滨分校正在建立一个基于计算机的实验室，用于心理学系所有本科生心理学专业的本科生研究方法课程。认知、知觉、人机交互、社会心理学、心理语言学、学习和记忆等方面的演示和实验正在为本科生实验室开发和实施。此外，这些设备还可用于这些心理学专题领域的课程的教学演示。

Many types of research in psychology involve the use of computers for generating stimulus materials and encoding and analyzing empirical results. In order to adequately instruct and train students in conducting research in psychology it is essential that they be exposed to computer-based experiments. The University of California at Riverside is establishing a computer-based lab for the undergraduate research methods course required of all undergraduate psychology majors in the Psychology Department. Demonstrations and experiments on cognition, perception, human-computer interaction, social psychology, psycholinguistics, and learning and memory are being developed and implemented for undergraduate labs in research methods. In addition, the equipment is available for instructional demonstrations for courses in these topical areas of psychology.
