Announcing a new series of laboratory-grade experiments suitable for classes in Experimental Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Sensory Psychology, Perception, Human Factors/Ergonomics and Motor Behavior. These laboratory projects are stand-alone versions of well-known experiments or are new experiments that combine several aspects of classical experiments. One or more of the projects could be easily incorporated into an existing lecture course, and a series of four or more projects could serve as the basis for a specialized laboratory course in an area.
Of the nine projects below, titles may be selected to fit particular courses.

The projects allow students to serve as their own experimental participants,
obtaining data that supports classical "laws" or phenomena without
the need for pooling data from multiple subjects or for complex statistical
analyses. Each project writes its data to an ASCII text file, suitable for
input into a spreadsheet or statistical program. Each project has an integrated
laboratory manual that provides introductory material, key references, technical
information, and hints on how to analyze the data using a spreadsheet program.
Spreadsheet templates are included for instructors' use. The level of data
analysis is flexible and may be set by the instructor; most of the projects
allow for either relatively simple or more complex analyses, depending on
the course level and the instructor's goals.
