Acquire programming skills and use them to build your own experiments. Learn the intricacies of experimental design.
Course Description
You will learn how to design psychological experiments and how to implement these using the OpenSesame software package and the Python programming language. You will be mainly working with OpenSesame, which is specially designed for constructing experiments. To successfully create experiments in OpenSesame, however, you need a basic understanding of Python. Therefore this course will also address general programming principles that will facilitate the learning of other programming languages in the future. We will furthermore look at how to efficiently design behavioral experiments, with the focus on randomization procedures, how to present visual and auditory stimuli, and on how to record responses of participants.
