Our lab generally recruits students who are interested in topics in Cognitive Psychology.
The main topics we study are learning, comprehension and problem solving.
Minimum time commitment in hours per week: 3 Qualifications of a Student:
Students should have an interest in learning, comprehension, or problem-solving.
Preference for students who have taken PSCH 352 or PSCH 353. Completion of PSCH 100 and PSCH 242 are required to earn credit in PSCH 396.
This research experience could also serve as an Honors Activity (either in addition to PSCH 396 or in place of it), Honors Capstone or as a LASURI project. We generally require students to get at least one semester of experience in research in our lab before starting a capstone or LASURI project.
Brief Summary of what is expected from the student:
Research assistants (RAs) agree to a regular schedule for helping in the lab each week throughout the semester. RAs will help with programming, data collection, data processing, and data organization. RAs will have the opportunity to read original journal articles related to the research, discuss the designs of studies and how they are used to test research questions, and see results of the studies.
NOTE: This researcher is currently not accepting applications for the Undergraduate Research Experience program.
