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, four topics are covered. 1. Handling of data (import, calculating new variables, filtering, etc.); 2. Descriptive statistics diagrams; 3. Simple inferential statistics (t-test etc.) and advanced inferential statistics (linear [mixed] models, etc.); 4. Simulations for power analysis. The last block shows the strengths of R and illustrates which aspects influence the power of experiments.
