By Greg Francis - CogLab on a CD, Version 2.0: 4th (fourth) Edition

by Greg Francis

CogLab gives both students and instructors the chance to participate as subjects in classic experiments of cognitive psychology. CogLab on CD-ROM gives students access to complete the experiments without an Internet connection or a web browser, while CogLab online allows instructors to combine data across all of their students, to have class averages automatically calculated, and to make those averages available to students. Instructors who choose the CD-ROM version can download a program that will allow them to combine and calculate class averages of data generated by their students.

I love CogLab! The only things I don't like were the number of trials for some CogLabs we had to do for class. It made doing the CogLab really frustrating. I mean, 90 trials? More than a hundred?

Sometimes, too, the background information for the CogLabs gave away the effect they were going for. Like the Wason Selection Task. Of course, my philosophy of science class where we had to do logic may have helped me with that, but it made it so obvious!

Also, the questions for the online version and the printed versions were different for some CogLabs.

So today I'm going to do my last CogLabs for my Memory & Cognition class. The experiments definitely helped with my understanding of the topics and studied discussed. :)
