Psych 892 - Basic Research Methods
What do I mean by "Basic"? "Basic" in this case does not mean "simple", "introductory", or "Your first class in...". Instead, this class is about the research methods needed to perform theoretical (i.e. "basic") or even applied research in a controlled laboratory setting. This class complements Psych 645 (Task Analysis) and is recommended for all PhD students. The course (under a new course number) will be the research methods course for the new Cognitive Neuroscience program.
