Statistical Cognition Lab

The Statistical Cognition Lab consists of students who are interested in studying the learning and understanding of statistics. Topics we investigate include understanding how different disciplines approach statistical pedagogy, NHST versus new and Bayesian statistics, and understanding what statistical software works best for student learning.

As a member of the Statistical Cognition Lab, students learn how to design research studies from the bottom up. This includes reading journal articles, generating new ideas, developing materials, collecting data, and analyzing data. Students also have the opportunity to present research at national and regional psychology conferences and assist in manuscript preparation.

Note: Professor Normile always recruits students to join the lab at the end of every semester during course registration. If you are an undergraduate student at Allegheny College interested in joining the Statistical Cognition Lab, please reach out to Professor Normile and schedule an appointment.
