Computational Cognition and Learning Lab Looking for Students

Chen Yu's Computational Cognition and Learning Lab is looking for motivated undergraduates interested in assisting graduate students in experimental psychology research during the spring semester (or earlier).

Our lab studies human development and learning through both empirical studies and computational models. We are particularly interested in how language is grounded in sensorimotor experience and how language development depends on complex interactions among brain, body and environment. To learn more, please visit the lab website at http://www.indiana.edu/~dll/index.html

If you are interested in learning how to conduct research, and you have approximately 8-12 hours per week, we're looking for you. You can volunteer or work for class credit during your first semester, with the possibility of being asked to continue as a paid URA after this training semester. No prior lab experience is necessary, but a 3.5 or higher GPA is required. If you're considering graduate school, this is a great opportunity to see what working in a lab is really like. You will attend weekly lab meetings, run subjects in experiments, score and analyze data, and help design new experiments.

For more information, please contact Amara Stuehling at astuehli@indiana.edu or Chen Yu at chenyu@indiana.edu Please include the following information: Your Name; Year in School (freshman, sophomore, etc); Number of hours available to work and tentative time blocks available; Major (declared or undeclared); GPA; Psychology/Cognitive Science classes (taken or will be taking)
