This four week course began with experiments on: iconic memory, mental rotation, geometric visual illusions, auditory attention (dichotic listening), spread of activation, and lateralization of function.
Some experiments were ready to run. For others, students were given a brief demo and a question and asked to design the experiment themselves. During the final 10 days, students divided into three groups to conceive, design and run studies of their own choice. Each of these final projects is presented here as a web poster.
Work was done on Macintosh computers with the following software:. Superlab and Eye Lines were used to run experiments. Stimuli were prepared with Super Paint, Quick Take Camera, Photoflash, and Sound Edit Pro. Data were processed with Microsoft Excel and Stat Vue. Figures were detailed in Super Paint. Papers were written using Microsoft Word and Word Perfect. Web posters were prepared using Netscape Navigator, Simple Text, and Gif Converter
