Labs

As post-secondary educators we understand the importance of experiential learning. To improve student hands on knowledge we developed a suite of computer-based lab modules for our own courses that span the topics covered in typical undergraduate psychology courses.


Each lab experience takes between 10 and 30 minutes to complete, and the number of trials is customizable. Once the lab is complete, the student can save the data file to their computer for later analysis. Individual trial outcomes and mean values are provided for most labs (where applicable).
