PSYCH 187: Research Design, Implementation, and Communication in Cognitive Development
This course is offered primarily for students who have taken
PSYCH175 (Winter) and wish to further develop their final papers into a research project. Students will learn how experiments are designed and conducted using young children as participants, whose task comprehension/compliance/attention span are all very different from adults. The goal of this course is to provide hands-on experiences in designing, creating, and adjusting stimuli/protocols, and through this process, help students understand how studying such populations, despite its difficulties, can help us answer some of the most interesting questions about the human mind. Students will experience all stages of designing and running an experiment with children within a structured time frame, and present their studies by presenting their work and writing a final paper at the end of the course. Students should expect to commit hours outside of class, for creating stimuli and collecting data.nPrerequisites:
