The main objective of this project is to teach students, via intensive          laboratory experiences, the principles and procedures of modern                 scientific psychology.  A microcomputer-controlled general experimental         psychology laboratory, including operant conditioning stations and              biofeedback monitors, is being established to serve courses in                  experimental psychology, learning and conditioning, sensation and               perception, social psychology, independent study, and a special topics          course.                                                                                                                                                         In the new laboratories, students perform representative behavioral             experiments using either animals or student volunteers as subjects.             Microcomputers assist students in carrying out experimental procedures,         collecting data, and performing statistical analyses.  These "hands-on"         laboratory experiences are teaching the principles and methodologies of         scientific psychology more effectively than lecture-oriented pedagogies         alone were able to do prior to the initiation of this project.
