Simulated Experiments (CogLab)
Simulated Experiments (CogLab)
Nine individual experiments (you choose from a set of related expts). You run yourself as a subject and collect your own data.
Interpret your data. If your data don't match the classic results, explain what you think led to the unusual pattern.
Print out your data and turn in the paper copy by the deadline.

Late 1800s Goal: Find fundamental elements of
thought. Method: Introspection. Problem: Introspection is limited to
current, mid-level cognitive processes. And it's biased.
