Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Psychology

该奖项为斯基德莫尔学院的本科生暑期项目提供支持，为他们提供认知和发展心理学的研究经验。 十名学生将被选中参加为期六周的课程。 作为夏季体验的重点项目将包括儿童记忆混乱的研究，图像能力的个体差异及其与记忆的关系，在不完整的视觉信息条件下介导面部识别的因素，以及对相同经验的事实识别的影响。 活动将包括概况讲习班、研究方法和数据分析课程以及学生介绍其工作成果。 目标是促进学生获得更持久的实验室经验的方法，最终在独立的研究项目中达到顶峰。 该奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业。

This award provides support to Skidmore College for a summer program for undergraduates to provide them with research experiences in cognitive and developmental psychology. Ten students will be selected for the six-week program. Projects serving as the focus of the summer experience will include the study of children's memory confusions, individual differences in imagery ability and their relationship to memory, factors mediating face recognition under conditions of incomplete visual information, and the effects on fact recognition of identical experiences. Activities will include an orientation workshop, courses on research methods and data analysis, and student presentations of the results of their work. The goal will be to promote ways for students to secure more sustained laboratory experiences culminating in independent research projects. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
