Experimentation II

Within the eighth session we’ll start our transition from the demo experiment to the research experiment via talking about and discussing approaches to experimentation and inference, paving the way to your research experiments where you’ll use the same experiment framework (stimulus set, paradigm, online platform) to address your own hypotheses using the analyzes we discussed and went through in R.

Topics 💡👨🏻‍🏫

In the following you’ll find the objectives and materials for each of the topics we’ll discuss during this session.

Wake me up before you test-test: experimentation & inference

How can one come up with a research questions and once there’s one, how can it be investigated? These are questions we’ll address in this part of the seminar.

Objectives📍

  • learn about theories of experimentation & inference

  • hear about analysis levels & types of questions asked within experiment settings

  • Ask and answer questions

  • Have a great time

demo project

You should continue to work on things related to your demo experiment report, including finding/organizing & reading publications, data management plan and pre-registration outside standard course hours. Additionally, you should try to incorporate the things we discussed in this session into your demo experiment report draft and start writing more precise drafts, including all sections.
