Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Cognitive Psychology

该奖项为弗曼大学的REU网站提供支持，该网站为学生提供心理学研究经验。在三年的时间里，每年将选出八名学生参加为期十周的夏季课程。研究项目的重点是信息处理。学生将在学习、记忆和认知领域进行研究。五位代表心理学（生物学、比较学、认知学、发展学和社会学）不同观点的教务主任将与学生合作。每个学生将负责一个特定的、独特的研究项目。项目活动将确保每个学生进行有意义的研究，不仅了解他或她自己的项目，而且了解行为科学的综合性质。研究的跨学科性质将是该网站的一个重点。其他活动将包括计算机技能和数据分析的指导，书面和口头报告，以及每周的小组会议，以提出问题并帮助学生了解各种项目的相互关系。该奖项有助于基金会继续努力，通过积极的本科研究经历吸引有才华的学生进入科学事业。

This award provides support to Furman University for an REU Site which offers students research experiences in psychology. Eight students each year, over a three year period, will be selected for ten-week sessions in the summer. The focus of the research program is information processing. Students will pursue research in the areas of learning, memory, and cognition. Five faculty directors representing distinct perspectives in psychology (biological, comparative, cognitive, developmental, and social) will collaborate with the students. Each student will be responsible for a specific, unique research project. Project activities will insure that each student conducts meaningful research and learns not just about his or her own project, but also about the integrated nature of behavioral science. The interdisciplinary nature of research will be a focus of the Site. Other activities will include instruction on computer skills and data analysis, written and oral presentations, and weekly group meetings to present issues and help students appreciate the interrelationship of the various projects.. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
