Psych/Lab Software. The Psych/Lab (TM) software contains programs to run versions of classic experiments from Human Cognitive/Experimental Psychology. The programs allow some (but not too much) control over parameters of their operation, provide raw trial data in text files, include analysis programs to compute condition means, and they are free! There is also a program that allows one to run their own reaction time experiment. The software has been in use since before 1990 for the Experimental Psychology course at Washington University, and in many other places around the world. You can use any of the programs for teaching or research, and you can distribute them to others for the same purposes but do not sell the software or otherwise use the programs or documentation for any commercial purpose without contacting the author first.

AU Psychology Resources. The Mechner Foundation. The Paideia Individualized Education (PIE) Model F. Mechner, V. Fiallo, T. Fredrick, & T. Jenkins, 2013. In 1968 at the Armonk Paideia School, Mechner introduced a novel approach to K-12 education—one that applies what is known about education, the learning process, organizational theory, and psychology. The approach, termed "Paideia Individualized Education" (PIE), has been receiving further refinement at the Queens Paideia School. There are no grades or classes in the PIE model--every student is educated as a unique individual, with a customized learning plan consisting of learning objectives drawn from a large relational database.
Most students advance by more than one grade level per year as they routinely make explicit commitments to achieve specific learning objectives. How Can One Specify and Teach Thinking Skills?
