Do single-n experiments
Do single-n experiments. You might have students be participants or experimenters for a psychophysical or operant conditioning experiment (e.g., Greenspoon effect, conditioning a rat, or a self-management project). Alternatively, you could have download a free, simple, and easy to use Windows program that helps students to conduct single-n studies that look at variables affecting the learning of a sequence. (To download, click on this link to go to the program's website. Once there, and click on the blue, underlined "ChainsForClass.exe" link.) For more about how to use the program, see
