Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Targets: In this course, students learn how to analyze experimental cognitive psychology data, create diagrams, and report the results in a way that is suitable for publication. Knowledge in R is obtained, and statistical and methodological expertise is deepened. Knowledge in R is not a prerequisite.
Contents: In this course, six topics are covered. 1. Handling of data (import, calculating new variables, filtering etc.); 2. Descriptive statistics; 3. diagrams; 4. Simple inferential statistics (t-test etc.); 5. Advanced inferential statistics (linear [mixed] models, etc.); 6. Simulations for power analysis. The last block shows the strengths of R and illustrates which aspects influence the power of experiments.
Methods: Mainly problem-solving oriented teaching. After an introduction to the topic of each session, small groups work on problems. The solutions are then discussed together. After each session, similar tasks have to be worked on as homework.
Note: It is highly recommended to use your own computer during the seminar and to install R (https://www.r-project.org) and R-Studio (https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download) on it before the first session. If there are problems with the installation, they will be solved in the first session. If no own computer is available, the PCs in the lecture hall can also be used.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation in the sessions, homeworks, and presentation of solutions in small groups. All kinds of aids are allowed as long as the tasks are worked on and solved independently.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum requirements: Obligatory attendance (maximum two absences).
Assessment criteria: cooperation (20%), homeworks (60%), presentation of analyses (20%).
For a positive assessment, 50% is necessary (from 62.5% Satisfactory; from 75% Good, from 87.5% Very Good).

Examination topics

The topics worked through in the sessions are the basis for the assessment.

Reading list

Will be announced in the seminar.
