Simulations (Click Here To Jump To An Interactive Example)
See what happens to the learning curve when you vary
the CS & US salience. Determine the
asymptotic levels of associative strength to the CSs in different
situations. You'll have to select
salience values for the
CS and a value for the US strength. Then press the run trial
button repeatedly
to get an acquisition
curve. You should be able to simulate the
following phenomena:
Acquisition, Extinction, Overshadowing, Blocking, Conditioned Inhibition
Research
Opportunities for
students
There are a variety of opportunities for students to gain valuable
research
experience within the Psychology department. This experience should be
extremely helpful for those students who wish to attend graduate school
in
Psychology or some other area, as well as for those interested in
pursuing a
degree in some professional field (e.g., medicine, law, etc).
Some of the
opportunities listed below are for course credit and some for a
financial award
or fellowship. Some are especially targeted to minority students,
and
other opportunities include all students. In all cases, there are
certain
requirements that need to be met, so interested students
should consult
with me
(or another) faculty member for more information.
1.)
Honor's
Independent Research in Psychology (Psychology 83.1, 83.2, 83.3, and
83.4)
In this
course,
students engage in research (one on one) with a faculty mentor.
2.)
Honor's
Field Work in Psychology (Psychology 87.1, 87.2, 87.3, and 87.4)
In this course, students work with a faculty mentor on a
community-oriented
outreach project.
3.)
MARC
Program - The Minority Access to Research Careers Program (see
Professor
Hainline)
Stipends up to $9000 per year can be used to help fund a student's
participation in research with a
faculty
mentor. Additional money
is available for tuition costs, and the program includes participation in
activities such as counseling on applying to graduate school, preparing
for the
GREs, peer tutoring,
and attendance
at local
and national scientific meetings.
4.)
The
Mellon Minority Undergraduate Fellowship Program (applications can be
obtained
in 2231 Boylan Hall)
5.)
The
Beinecke Graduate Scholarship in Arts, Humanities, & Social
Sciences. Qualified students can
earn a $32,000 scholarship for
graduate study. Students can apply
in the undergraduate Dean’s office (3208 Boylan).
