RE:[tips] Whatever happened to pilot studies?
You're really just restating what I said, Marc, albeit with a somewhat different slant/emphasis. You say, You don't start sloppy -- you set things up according to what the literature and your hypotheses tell you, and you exercise control as you would with any research. That's really all I was trying to say. i.e., If you get lucky and the parameters are right, you've got yourself a potentially publishable study but plenty of these studies will become pilot studies.

Subject: RE: Whatever happened to pilot studies? From: Marc Carter marc.car...@bakeru.edu Date: Wed, 12 May 2010 11:42:54 -0500 X-Message-Number: 6 If you know what parameter settings you need in order to show the effect, then, sure, no need to pilot. But I know in attention and depth perception research (the two areas I'm most familiar with), it's rare to run a study without having to play with any parameters. You don't start sloppy -- you set things up according to what the literature and your hypotheses tell you, and you exercise control as you would with any research. I always felt that pilot work wasn't wasted, but taught me about what the source of the effect was. You go in with an idea that something should do something, but you have to play with it a while to figure it out. Calling it pilot research sort of demeans it -- it's really empirical research. But I sure never thought of it as a waste. That's how I learned what was doing what. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

[tips] Learning/the savings method
Do not quote me on this,but there was a time one measurement of learning was the savings' method.I am not sure if the paradigm was within verbal learning or classical or operant conditioning.The conclusion went somewhat like this-that if the amount of trials to reach criteria diminished over time than the subject has learned by saving on frequency,duration,and latency. This seems to be connected with the idea that speed of learning is a reliable assessment device.(Logan) Send me something. In a theoretical psychology state of mind.

[tips] Research mentoring compensation
Does your institution offer compensation for mentoring independent research/study students? If so, how? Most of our faculty carry several students a year pro-bono but we are about used up and want to know what other institutions.

Re: [tips] Research mentoring compensation
We have a merit-point system at ASU for various activities. A faculty member would receive some number of merit points for mentoring an independent study student, additional merit-points if the student is a co-author on a conference presentation, further additional merit points if the student is a co-author on a publication. At the end of the year, the chairperson takes whatever additional salary money we get from the College of Arts Sciences and spreads it among the faculty proportionally according to merit points. The merit point count is a running 3-year average to smooth out counts for variations in state funding year-to-year and to reward long-term contributions. Go here to find our current merit point document: http://www.psych.appstate.edu/faculty/forms.html The chairperson has the final say on the classification of merit. Ken --- Kenneth M.
