Undergraduate and graduate students will work in teams to design, build, test, and distribute online toolkits that help practitioners solve real-world problems by applying social science. Graduate students can build toolkits for their own research. Students will learn how to assess the needs of practitioner audiences; write text, design graphics, and program activities for these audiences; prepare, deliver, and produce a TED-style online video; design surveys in Qualtrics; and build and user-test the toolkit. Readings and class discussions will include modules on design thinking, storytelling, science writing, information design, and impact evaluation. For an example of a toolkit in progress, please visit spacereface.org. Permission of instructor required.

Much is known about how children learn. But how can this knowledge be used to create effective, age-appropriate health and educational interventions for children? This course surveys research in basic and applied cognitive development. Students will then have the opportunity to design an intervention for young children based on what they¿ve learned. Recommended: Psych 60 or Psych 141.

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: PSYCH175, or see instructor
