A combined laboratory/lecture course focused on research methods and research communication. Students will use previously-collected data from experimental and survey studies to complete research projects. Students will learn about theoretical issues, experimental methods, and data analysis techniques relevant to the study of developmental psychology, including observation of infant behavior, assessment of rater reliability, and analysis, graphing, and presentation of research projects from prospective longitudinal studies (e.g., on adolescent health). Students will choose their own research questions based on available data in comprehensive surveys.
