Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Course is limited to students who have not taken Psych 300 and want to enroll in Psych 300 and Experimental Psychology concurrently. Therefore, students who enroll in Psych 3011 also must register for Psych 300. Psych 3011 fulfills the Psych 301 requirement for the major. Topics in the two courses (i.e., Psych 300 and Psych 3011) are coordinated in order to integrate the concepts from Statistics course with those from Experimental Psychology course. Experimental Psychology provides training in the logic and techniques of psychological research so as to provide students with experience in the design of psychology experiments and interpretation of results. Topics include experimental design and control, library research, quantitative treatment of data, graphical presentation of results, and clarity of scientific writing. Lectures focus on general principles of experimentation while the laboratory component provides an introduction to a range of psychological phenomena through hands-on experience in experimentation. Each student also completes an independent research project of his or her own design under supervision of a faculty member. Enrollment limited to 15 students. Concurrent enrollment in Psych 300 Section 02 is required.
