Labvanced for Classrooms | Hands-on Learning and Psychology Experiments

Labvanced is designed to enhance classroom learning by giving students the opportunity to learn how to set up psychology experiments, develop experiment-building skills and collect data. All without having to code! Students simply have to get familiar with the app and they can start implementing their next psychology experiment with just a few clicks.

Try out the Corsi Block-Tapping Test by clicking the Participate button under the study description or the Import option to add and edit this task with your Labvanced account.

With access to Labvanced’s Public Experiment Library (full of psychology experiment templates) that are customizable and an interface that provides hands-on learning experiences, students can move beyond theoretical knowledge to practical applications, all achieved with ease using a platform trusted by researchers worldwide!

Goal of Classroom Use

Classroom use provides your students with the opportunity to:

1. Experience hands-on learning and apply terminology to real life experimental scenarios.
2. Access and participate in classic paradigms (via the Public Experiment Library)
3. Develop their experiment design skills without having to code
4. Try statistical tests
5. Conduct innovative and powerful research for their thesis / dissertation (examples later)

Hands-on Learning

Below are some examples of how hands on learning can be experienced through the platform:

Trial Design with the Task Wizard

The Task Wizard allows you to build the basic foundations of a study based on a CSV file, allowing you to create and customize your study efficiently.

Study Design

Via the Study Design tab, you can organize your experiments tasks into: blocks, sessions and groups, ideal for longitudinal designs. This is great for students as they can learn specific terminology hands-on by setting up their tasks into sessions, blocks, etc.

Randomization & Balancing Techniques

Apply randomization and balancing techniques to enhance your study's methodology. Students can try out several randomization and balancing techinques and approaches and directly see their impact on stimuli presentation and more.

Access and Participate in Classic Paradigms & Tasks

There is a large collection of tasks, scales, and questionnaires in the Public Experiment Library. You can access and participate in any of these, and by importing them directly into your account, you can also customize them. Students can go through this resource and select what studies to work with, use them as their basis of their own experiment or simply see what other researchers around the world are making.

Try out the Navon Task by clicking the Participate button under the study description or the Import option to add and edit this task with your Labvanced account.

Try Statistical Tests and more

Explore statistical tests and operations, including z-scores, percentiles, variances, and more.

Develop Experiment Design Skills

Labvanced allows you to develop your experiment design skills without the need for coding.

Experimental Flexibility: You have the flexibility to combine various objects and features, enabling you to bring your unique experimental design to life. Whether you are working with simple questionnaires or complex setups, the possibilities for experimentation are limitless.

Management of the Classroom Use

With its resources for managing assignments and facilitating participation in experiments, it stands as an ideal platform to assist professors in teaching experimental and cognitive psychology.

• There are Redemption Codes (additional data recordings) available which can be redeemed after activation.
• Researchers and student seats can be effectively managed and controlled.
• Collaboration is also possible with student seats.

Manage Assignments

The Participants tab, lets you manage classroom-related assignments and quizzes with ease.

By introducing your students to Labvanced, you are giving them access to an innovative and powerful app that can help take their experiment-design skills, knowledge and experience to greater heights!
