"PsychMate is an incredibly useful tool for providing a realistic laboratory experience in the classroom environment. It allows students to gain firsthand knowledge of the classic experiments across the various fields of psychology. The most attractive feature of PsychMate is that it is incredibly user-friendly for student and instructor alike. In short, PsychMate enables a strong interactive relationship between the learner, the teacher, and the conceptual content

of the lab course."

Donald J. Bolger

University of Pittsburgh

 


"The analysis is slick! Excel generates summary information and graphs automatically.  I would recommend this product to professors who are doing lab classes, in particular introductory research classes."

Dr. Leslie A. Valdes

St. Cloud State University

 


"The time saving in analyzing and preparing class handouts is a Godsend.  Data analysis is seamless and effortless."

Enhance your teaching with PsychMate!
The only comprehensive system for

undergraduate psychology instruction.

 

PsychMate® is the next generation of educational tools for undergraduate psychology instruction. PsychMate is designed to provide a means for exposing students to classic and current experiments in psychology, as well as teaching students about research methods and data collection.  PsychMate is a client-server application using the Internet for data submission and retrieval.

 

Students participate in real experiments, not simple demonstrations or simulations! PsychMate enables students to take part in 30 classic and current psychology experiments, and see immediate plots and tables of their real data. The student software includes an experiment launcher to allow students to quickly and easily launch the experiments they wish to run.  Data submission occurs automatically when connected to the Internet or students may use the Student Organizer to run offline and submit at a later time.

 

Retrieve data files from the server then with a single click, instructors can analyze single subject or group data files, using the many pre-specified data analyses. Save hours of prep time! Use PsychMate to automatically analyze students data and generate your class materials for each lesson in printed, PowerPoint, or HTML format.
