REU Site in Psychology

该奖项为斯基德莫尔学院心理学本科生研究经验网站提供资金。这个为期八周的项目将允许10名学生参与研究的许多阶段，如设计研究、测试、分析数据和撰写结果。为研究经验提供重点的项目将包括研究儿童的记忆混乱、影响面部识别的因素、非语言交流方面的记忆、信息过载对记忆的影响、压力的生理影响和死亡率显著性。研究实习生还将参加一些旨在提高他们追求更多独立研究经验的能力的讲习班，例如使用统计软件包和实验控制软件包，以及以研究生院为重点的讲习班。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 funds to continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Psychology at Skidmore College. The eight week program will permit ten students to participate in many phases of research, such as designing studies, testing, analyzing data, and writing results. The projects providing the focus for the research experience will include the study of children's memory confusions, factors influencing face recognition, memory for nonverbal aspects of communication, effects on memory of information overload, physiological effects of stress, and mortality salience. The research interns will also participate in several workshops designed to enhance their ability to pursue more independent research experiences, such as the use of statistical packages and software packages for experimental control, and workshops focused on graduate school. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
