Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goal of this course is to continue (building up on TEWA 1 course) acquiring knowledge needed to conduct empirical and quantitative scientific research in experimental psychology, treating topics that combine clinical psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
The course will be provided in hybrid form (face-to-face classes + digital), where the students will be divided in two groups (~10 students per group). Each week, one group will have a face-to-face practical lesson and exercises on computers for the first 2h, while the other group will connect via conference call in the last hour and lead a group discussion on the previously assigned literature.

Aims of TEWA 2:
1. Learn to prepare and analyse data (face-to-face practical lessons and exercises, home assignments):
a) data preparation - cleaning and manipulating data sets – using R and Excel
b) visually presenting the data – scatter plots, bar charts, line charts, etc. – using R and Excel
c) analysing the data – t-test, ANOVA, correlations – using JASP (similar to SPSS)
2. Gain an understanding of the state of the art knowledge of the neurobiological basis of a chosen clinical condition (online journal clubs)
3. Gain hands-on experience with the TMS

Students will choose research questions in groups, analyse the data and prepare a poster presentation at the end of the semester. Research questions and the data will be offered by the lecturers and will concern the topics of: (1) reward consumption during COVID-19 crisis depending on the presence of different clinical symptoms (e.g. depression), (2) change in the social perception of groups during the COVID-19 crisis
