实验室设备

The 心理学院,家庭, 和 社区 maintains a number of research 和 teaching labs on the SPU campus in Marston-Watson大厅伊顿大厅.

Additional laboratories are housed in the adjacent Clinical Training 和 研究 Suite (CTRS). This consists of five contiguous rooms, the walls of which contain one-way mirrors permitting observations in either direction, 还有双向对讲机. Each room is outfitted with permanently installed cameras 和 audio recording equipment to permit videotaping of activities in one room controlled from an adjacent room. The rooms in this suite were intentionally designed for therapy training activities 和 laboratory research in therapeutic processes, 团体动力学, 关系发展.

Our “wet” laboratory program focuses on animal behavior 和 learning; it is housed in 伊顿大厅 near SPFC’s designated lab/classroom (EH 231).

心理生理学实验室

The psychophysiology lab is located in a specially designed room to control for sound, 温度, 和光线. It is equipped to run cardiorespiratory stress testing through the use of continuous electrocardiogram 和 pulmonary monitoring via surface skin electrodes 和 tension transduction, 分别. Materials are available for the collecting 和 storing of salivary cortisol samples in accordance with current biohazard safety guidelines put forth by the Center for Disease Control 和 Prevention.

发展心理学实验室

The primary developmental psychology lab is located in a suite of three rooms:

  • The child/family session room includes video 和 sound recording equipment, 一台电脑, 和 psychophysiological equipment to collect cardiac, 血压, 还有皮肤电导数据. This room also has a one-way mirror for unobtrusive viewing of sessions during filming.
  • The office/filming room contains a video stack for recording sessions, 和 一台电脑 for data entry. The video stack includes a mixer for audio 和 video signals 和 a date/time code generator.
  • The coding room contains computers as well as VCRs 和 monitors for coding sessions.

社会心理学实验室

The primary social psychology lab is located in two connected rooms. The rooms include linked workstations containing computers permitting individual or yoked experimentation. These computers are also programmed for experiments in cognition 和 perception (e.g., reaction time tasks, signal detection tests).

临床观察套房

Our clinical observation suites are equipped with one-way mirrors, 和 video 和 audio recording capabilities that permit real-time supervision 和 training. These observational suites are also available for developmental 和 social psychological research.

湿实验室

SPFC的“湿”实验室坐落在 伊顿大厅. 这里是学习实验室, which contains numerous stations equipped with operant cubicles permitting experiments in instrumental 和 classical conditioning controlled by a central computer that has the capability of separate programming 和 cumulative recording of each individual station.

Psychophysiological demonstration classroom

也在 伊顿大厅 is SPFC’s hi-tech psychophysiological demonstration classroom, in which SPFC students take their neural basis of behavior courses, 使用神经解剖模型, 和 participate in brain 和 spinal cord dissection exercises.
