Take statistics from the printed page and make them come alive!
STATLAB Online is an online laboratory that allows students to actively participate in classic behavioural experiments by gathering and analyzing their own data. Students are guided through the analysis of their data to demonstrate different statistical techniques in a meaningful way. Students and their instructor can also analyze data generated by the whole class. By working with their own data, STATLAB Online provides a new way for students to appreciate the relevance of statistical analyses for understanding human behaviour.
STATLAB Online has been developed by Gregory Francis and Ian Neath, creators of the popular CogLab Online Laboratory for Cognition and Research Methods courses (Wadsworth).
