Improving Laboratory Instruction and Facilitating Research Experience for Students in Experimental Psychology

心理学系正在利用资金加强实验心理学的实验室服务，特别是在感知和认知的核心内容领域。这些资金将用于购买计算机和视频设备以及相关软件，以促进在校园内和远程研究站点的本科生的互动学习和前沿研究体验。多媒体技术在为学生提供在远程站点进行的正在进行的婴儿感知和儿童认知研究项目方面发挥着重要作用。虽然该项目的主要重点是感知和认知的内容领域，但所获得的设备也支持其他领域的动手、互动实验室活动，包括统计学和研究设计、神经心理学、学习、社会心理学和入门心理学。

The Psychology Department is using funds to enhance laboratory offerings in experimental psychology, especially in the core content areas of perception and cognition. The funds are being used to acquire computing and video equipment and related software that will facilitate interactive learning and cutting-edge research experiences for undergraduates, both on campus and at remote research sites. Multimedia technology plays a prominent role in providing students on campus with access to ongoing infant perception and child cognition research programs conducted at the remote sites. Although the project's main focus is on the content areas of perception and cognition, equipment acquired supports hands-on, interactive laboratory activities in other areas as well, including statistics and research design, neuropsychology, learning, social psychology, and introductory psychology.
