Course Description
In Lab Learning, students are involved in the central core of activity in a psychological research laboratory. The laboratories maintain an ongoing scholarly research program, directed by a full-time faculty member, and run collaboratively with a team of student research assistants (6 – 12). Students at different developmental levels may be involved in varying ways in the ongoing research program. Students conduct the day-to-day logistics of the research (e.g., student development, research tools/manipulation development, data collection, data management and computer entry, data analysis, data consultation, research report writing and editing, presentation in campus and professional conferences), participate in weekly lab meetings in which they read and discuss relevant primary resources and discuss specific current lab studies, and produce research reports.
