Using these lectures yourself
For each class the necessary lectures are provided (roughly
as given at Nottingham).
The lectures are deliberately rather verbose and you
probably want to cut this down considerably to avoid students falling asleep or
failing to show up. They were written this way because it’s hard to write a
lecture for somebody else to give,
without being very explicit about what verbal material was intended alongside
the slides.
In addition, each class has lecturers notes file with it,
explaining more about the ideas to be conveyed and a batch analysis script
where that’s feasible. To run the batch analysis simply open it in PsychoPy
(Coder view not Builder) and press run. It will ask you to select the data
files you want to run the analysis on (the lecturer materials contain some
example data files to try that out). For some experiments, where students
create their own experiment, batch analysis is too difficult because each
student uses a slightly different name for the variables etc. In these cases we
get students to write down their values on a piece of paper and a demonstrators
types them into SPSS. Old-school!
