PP02 PsychoPy

Welcome!

Welcome to the PsychoPy course for the department of experimental psychology (PP02) at UGent!

This department course parallels the PsychoPy course that 3rd bachelor students follow at the start of their training as an experimental psychologist. Here you can learn how to construct experiments in the PsychoPy Builder (the GUI version) or program the experiment in the PsychoPy Coder (the scripting environment). Using this resource to learn PsychoPy will facilitate communication with your future master students. In addition, it gives new department members an insight into the practical aspects of conducting experiments with the department equipment. As the main goal of the PsychoPy course is to teach our student the general skill of programming aside from coding experiments, the main focus lies on learning how to write code in Python.

Each chapter in the course consists of a text with the general explanation as well as some easy text exercises (TE). Furthermore, each chapter comes with a set of progressively advanced deeper exercises (DE) and every two or three chapters there is a test. We provide solutions to all exercises and tests, but the best solution will of course be your own.

All of these online training materials come in the form of google documents where you can add comments with your remarks/questions, or you can directly edit the text to suggest a change. We welcome your input! Any further questions and suggestions on the course material can be directed to tom.verguts@ugent.be or vincent.hoofs@ugent.be
