Examination prescription to " experimental psychology "

Examination prescription to " experimental psychology "
" experimental psychology " is a branch about the experiment method in psychology, it is each branched research foundation of other psychology, it is one of the main subjects of every rank examination of the psychology too. The teaching material that we use now is " experimental psychology " (1993 version of publishing house of Guangming Daily, Professor Zhu Ying of department of psychology of Peking University waits for someone and writes) . This teaching material is simple, practical, the content included is wider, are relatively suitable for student of self-taught examination to use. This teaching material mainly includes the following contents: Psychological experiment method, psychological physics method, complex reaction time, feeling with consciousness, memory, psycholinguistics, thinking and motive. Among them, two preceding chapters introduce various variables, psychological research approach and problem that should be paid attention to in the course of studying included in the psychological experiment emphatically, following most chapters mainly introduce the application of the experiment method in the concrete content of psychology. In all chapters above, the first method chapter of psychological physics is elusiver, especially the signal measures and talks about the part, need examinees to read conscientiously, strengthen and understand. According to guidelines and the examinee's detailed conditions of self-taught examination, the topic of the examination is generally divided into four kinds of forms: It is explanation of nouns, simple question sheet, chart question and experimental design question respectively. The explanation of nouns question requires examinees to carry on the succinct, brief description to the noun in the examination paper, it is usually a word, subject to teaching material; While answering the simple question sheet, the examinee should explain that explain the basic conception involved in question at first, then list the main point of the question sheet, and carry on the brief illustration to every main point; The chart question means that provides a picture or a table in the examination question, the picture or table is a result of a certain experiment, require examinees to answer the question according to the picture or table, generally require examinees to point out what psychological knowledge question this experimental result proves. Or ask examinees to point out various variables (independent variable in the research of this experiment, because variable and control variable,etc.) ,Why did and this experiment plant the experimental design; The last kind is a question of experimental design, require examinees design an experiment to study a concrete problem by oneself, or require examinees to explain the problem that exists in the experimental design that is provided in the examination paper, and correct and propose a more complete new experimental design. Generally, contents of the examination paper will not go beyond the range of the teaching material, but there is some change or change. However, the essence retains its identity while appearances may vary, know the teaching material is very important. The pictures and tables are languages of experimental psychology, the advantage of the chart is ocular, simple, distinct, will seldom produce ambiguously. But it is different to some extent that the language is stated according to the application ability of everybody's characters. In addition, some experimental result very difficult to state with language. Experimental psychology pays attention to the experiment, pay attention to the statement (chart) of the experimental result ,So, requiring examinees should pay attention to the understanding of chart content in the teaching material and explanation during study. Can reflect various variables involved in the experiment, and the relation (experimental design) between various variables in the chart . The abscissa in the picture shows the independent variable, the ordinate expresses because of the variable. To question type and concrete content of the examination, while studying the experimental psychology, it is not enough to only depend on memorizing mechanically. Generally requiring the examinee not only remembers the content of the teaching materials, but also be able to apply the knowledge learnt to the concrete problem, namely require examinees to write a hundred million on the basis of understanding. For example, while answering chart question and experimental design question, the examinee should answer the question according to concrete requirement in the examination paper, this can not only be accomplished through endorsing. However, explanation of nouns and Jane's question sheet in the the examination papers require examinees to remember the concrete content in the teaching material. So, not only require examinees to have good remembering hundred million strength during examination, but also there should be good ability to make a comprehensive study and a thorough master of, draw inferences about other cases from one instance. In all subjects of self-taught examination; Experimental psychology belongs to a course more difficult to know, in fact this kind of difficulty embodies in two respects of learning aid at the same time. Experimental psychology is due to experiment as its name suggests, so include " the the intersection of experimental psychology and experiment " in the intersection of Peking University and psychological the intersection of department and course of undergraduate The lesson, require students to start to do the psychological experiment in the laboratory in person. Through participating in directly to psychological experiment, students have ocular understanding on gaining knowledge in psychology and master, the study of this pair of students is very helpful. And in the self-taught examination, because of the limitations of a great deal of factors such as time and field, the psychological experiment lesson of very difficult arrangement, so, the students of self-taught examination generally reflect the experiment in experimental psychology seems very concrete, it is very strenuous to learn, does not know what will be remembered, the teacher is more strenuous too in the course of explaining, so, two respects of learning aid both have certain difficulty. However, experimental psychology is that we will carry on one of the psychological basic courses indispensable in research in the future, so, teacher and examinee must overcome the difficulty together, learn to understand; Learn this course well. According to our experience, propose examinees in studying the psychological class hour of experiment and paying attention to several followingly: 1, Self-taught examination, should rely mainly on teaching oneself, before participating in the coaching before examination, had better read over teaching material once first, find out the place not understood, can have an object in view during coaching like this; 2,Should take experiment as the focal point at the time of study, understand the experimental design of each experiment, various variables, and result and conclusion that the experiment is received, what question,etc. the experiment has proved; 3,Psychological knowledge is closely related to our life, so, must intergrate with practice more in the course of studying, so can strengthen understanding of knowledge and application; 4,Adjust the psychology, overcome the fear of difficulty, especially older students, should give play to you to enrich the advantage of the life experience. In addition, during examination, should see the requirement for the topic clearly first, according to answering the question, ask anything, answer anything, answer more high. If the examinee holds and all answers content and independent one correlated to examination paper out, let teacher who sentences the examination paper to look for the answer from it, will try to be clever but turning out the contrary instead, make people think this examinee does not knows at all how to answer this question, influences the achievement instead.
