REU Site: An Insider

该奖项提供资金，继续在心理学本科生网站的研究经验在斯基德莫尔学院。 长期目标是支持学生的教育发展，提高他们作为年轻研究人员的相对独立性。 12名实习生将与教师导师一起工作8周。 经验将包括设计研究，测试个人和分析数据。 此外，他们还将参加以各种主题为重点的研讨会，包括作为科学专业的“大学毕业后的生活”，进入研究生院，充分利用技术资源，并进行统计分析。 为研究经验提供重点的项目将包括儿童对协作活动的记忆、调节闭合过程的机制、右半球在注意力处理中的专门作用、学龄前儿童对个人身份的理解以及与个人目标和福祉相关的人格特征等主题。 研究实习生的巅峰体验将包括一个小型会议，他们将在会上展示他们的夏季研究成果，并提交一份研究提案，作为他们可能在下一学年继续开展的工作的草稿。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事业。

This award provides funds to continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Psychology at Skidmore College. The long-term goal is to support the educational development of the students, increasing their relative independence as young researchers. Twelve student interns will spend eight weeks working with faculty mentors. Experiences will include designing studies, testing individuals, and analyzing data. In addition, they will attend workshops focusing on a variety of topics including "life after college" as a science major, getting into graduate school, making the most of technological resources, and conducting statistical analyses. The projects providing the focus for the research experience will include such topics as children's memory for collaborative activities, mechanisms mediating closure processes, the specialized role of the right hemisphere in attentional processing, preschoolers' understanding of individual identify, and personality characteristics associated with personal goals and well-being. Research interns' capstone experiences will include a mini-conference at which they will present the outcomes of their summer research and a research proposal intended as a draft for work they might continue in the coming academic year.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
