Neuroscience
The Laboratory for Automation Psychology and Decision Processes (LAPDP, BPS 3111) will be conducting a number of studies on the psychology of digital games in the Fall and Spring Semesters 2010/2011 in conjunction with the class offering this Fall, Psyc 445. I am looking for 4-6 students who can sign up for Psyc 479 with 1-3 credits. We will have a group lab meeting Wednesdays 12-1 to discuss the literature and research. Other research hours are open to the student's schedule.
We will be conducting research on the factors of immersiveness of video games, cognitive components of skill required to play different games, dimensions and genres of games, standardized scales for play testing games, and reaction to acts of violence in games. The lab is equipped with an XBox Kinect, a Playstation 3 with Move Controllers, two Nintendo Wiis, large screen projection, and various handheld devices and PCs for "play testing" games.
