PSY 357 Analogical Inference Evaluation
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROJECT
Faculty:
Art Markman, Ph.D.
Contact:
Jeff Laux laux@mail.utexas.edu
Description:
How do people draw conclusions? Outside of logic classes, most reasoning in the real world is based on analogies. But there is no grand theory of what would make such an inference more or less likely to be true. So how do people evaluate these assertions?
Qualifications:
We are looking for enthusiastic, responsible, hard-working undergraduates to work in our lab. Attention to detail is a must. It is best if you have taken a course in statistics and a course in cognitive psychology,
but they are not required.
Duties:
Research assistants will run experiments. Students are expected to work 15-20 hours per week. Lab hours are flexible. Other tasks may include: data entry, coding and analysis, making stimuli, and attending lab meetings.
