First Week of Fifteen, Tues. 1-13-09
New
Members Present: Greg Lanciotti
CP3 crew
Present:
The poster submission to APS was accepted.
Greg
has sat in on part of one session with Blake. Greg will contact him
again to see when he is running and start sitting in on more sessions.
Greg will also do the online Human Subjects Protections training.
Live Local/Global crew
Present:
Kirsten Williams
The people who are still with me, as far as I know are Kirsten, Bevin,
Shawn, and Ashely.
Kirsten, Shawn, and Ashely are planning to go to Pittsburgh.
Kirsten
will make the application to the URC for the travel funds and will
create the powerpoint for the presentation to the research committee,
using last years proposal and powerpoint as a starting point.
Everyone
who plans to attend needs to register for the conference (find out if
EPA requires membership for all presenters). They need to make travel
and hotel arrangements.
The poster submission to EPA was accepted.
Kirsten has started the grid to compare successful and unsuccessful
Local / Global studies.
Fear and Disgust crew
Present:
No one this time.

Second Week of Fifteen, Tues. 1-20-09
Need
to find out for sure who from the PR2 group is still with us. I believe
Melissa Gilroy and Nikita Driscoll have not graduated yet.
Melissa
has sent me an email saying she can't make meetings, but wants to know
what needs to be done. I replied that we still need subjects run in PR2
face to face and that she should let me know if there is anything I
need to do (on the subject pool web site for instance).
Nikita
can't participate because of an internship, but should be able to help
with "passing the torch" to new members who could work on finishing up
scoring and coding data from PR1 with both genders.
I'm not sure whether Brittany Robison and Sarah Windfelder are still
available. Lisa Scala will not be available.
For
CP3, Blake Miller and Steve Craig should be running subjects, and Greg
Lanciotti should be sitting in. Also, whoever intends to try to go to
San Francisco to present the poster on the preliminary results needs to
be making arrangements and looking for funding.
For Local/Global
we need to be continuing the literature search. Kirsten Williams is
taking the lead on this. Also helping should be Shawn Griffiths and
Ashley Dailey. Whoever plans to go to Pittsburgh to present the results
needs to be making arrangements and applying to the URC for funding.
Kirsten will take the lead in writing up a proposal and a presentation
for the URC based on the previous one. She could probably use help with
that.
For the literature search for Analogy and Math, I believe
Stephanie Martin is working on that. MacKenzie Geary is no
longer available. However, a new student Jennifer Lucas, who is doing a
practicum with me on that lit search should be working with Stephanie.
For
this meeting, I can only meet from 4:30 - 5:00. The best strategy might
be to meet with both lit search groups to show them the Social Science
Citation Index, which KU just acquired.

Third Week of Fifteen, Tues. 1-27-09
For this meeting, I would
like to meet with the two Lit Search crews again. For the next meeting,
I'd like to touch base with the PR peoples.
I met with Stephanie Martin regarding the Math Analogies lit search.
Based
on: Reducing
Structural-Element Salience on a Source Problem Produces Later
Success in Analogical Transfer: What Role Does Source Difficulty
Play?
Authors:
Didierjean,
A and Nogry, S
Published in Memory
and Cognition, October 2004
The finding of the above study was that increasing the difficulty of
the source problem (ironically by decreasing structural element
salience) improved later transfer. The problems, however, were
artificial laboratory tasks (the checkerboard problem and analogues of
it).
This suggests a study to determine the role of another
difference in source problems, the specificity/generality of the
representation on transfer (and whether the transfer occurs
spontaneously or needs to be cued). A more general representation might
enable people to transfer the training on problems with one set of
surface features to problems with another set. However, previous
research suggests that the transfer will not be spontaneous.
Experiment
1 - Is transfer facilitated by training in terms of more general,
rather than more specific, terms for the problem elements. And, if
so, does the transfer occur spontaneously, or only with a cue.
|
Specific - Problem Elements as
Original price, Discount %, etc.
|
General - Problem Elements as
Amount, ratio, etc.
|
General Plus Cue - Problem
Elements as Amount, ratio, etc.

Group Average - Problem Elements

All
problems will be find final ratio problems.
There
will be three groups of subjects. One group will receive training in
which the problem elements are described in terms specific to their
surface features. That is, they will be described as “the original
sale price”, “the discount percent”, and “the amount of money
saved”. A second group will receive training in which the problem
elements are describe in terms general enough to apply to different
kinds of surface features. That is, the sales price will be described
as “an amount”, the discount percent will be described as “a
ratio”, and the amount saved will be described as “a product”.
In those first two conditions, the participants will then be tested
on group average problems. The group average problems will have new
surface features. For example they will have groups of people of
different sizes, and measurements of the people that will be averaged
for the groups. In those first two conditions, there will be no
information about which problem elements in the test problems are
amounts or ratios. In a third condition, the training will be like
the training in the general condition. But at test, the information
about which problem elements are amounts and ratios will be given.
Assuming that this experiment shows that people do not recognize
what features in the Grp. Ave. test problems are the amounts and what
are the ratios without the cue, then the next questions would be what
kind of training examples would facilitate such recognition?
For
example, if the training pairs consisted of two problems that had
different surface features, then would representing them at the more
general level during training enable people to spontaneously recognize
the general level on the Grp. Ave. test problems?

Fourth Week of Fifteen, Tues. 2-3-03
PR1 - With gender -
There are over 300 SSs - About 70 SSs are coded - The data is in the
cabinet in 294A - It is separate from the PR without gender data. It is
separated into fear and disgust conditions. There is a hard
copy
of the coding that has subject number, gender, fear or disgust, booklet
number (8 - A thru H - for different orderings of pages). The only
complication is that as you go through the pages of a given booklet you
have to code the response in the correct column. Different booklets
have the 43 numbered stimuli in different orders, but the page of the
booklet has the correct stimulus number on it.
Next week Tues.
2-10-09, Nikita could take the volunteers we have now and show them how
to finish the coding of the PR1 with gender data.
PR2 - Melissa Gilroy should know where we are with that one.
I sent the following email to Brittany Robison, Lisa Scala, and Sarah
Windfelder:
Hello all,
I
just met with Nikita Driscoll. If any of you are available to finish
coding the data from PR1 with gender, and if you need someone to show
you where it is, or how to do it, or both, Nikita said she could show
you next Tuesday, 2-10-9, at 4:30 pm. If you are available, please let
me know. If you aren't, but you know someone who would like to get
involved in research, please send them my way. Or even if you are
available, but know someone who could work with you, send them to me
also. Thanks.

Fifth Week of Fifteen, Tues. 2-10-09
Email sent to all crews on 2-9-09:
Hello all,
I need to meet with the Local/Global crew and new
volunteers this week. That would be Shawn, Ashley, and new volunteers,
Patricia Goodridge and John Andrachio. Kirsten is in that group but she
met with me today.
Also, Nikita will be there to get another new person, Ashley Oesterle,
going on coding data from PR1 with gender.
The CP3
crew does not need to meet with me, but you should be keeping in touch
with one another and beginning to run subjects and train the new people.
Thanks.
-- Dr. Ryan
Received responses
from Patricia, Shawn, and Ashley, that they will not be able to make
it. However, I can meet with John and other new volunteers. The CP3
crew needs new people, Kirsten needs new people help with preparing for
the Pittsburgh trip and with the new local global studies. We have
Ashley Oesterle to take over the coding of the PR1 with gender data.
I also need new people to begin working on coding the interleaving
study data.
I met with Kirsten on
Monday 2-9-09. She needs helpers to get working on the new Local /
Global studies. There are two studies we have in mind.
In one study, we could replicate Macrae and Lewis and Tim Perfect, but
also manipulate visual angle.
In
the other, we could replicate a standard verbal overshadowing study,
but add a concurrent specific cognitive load task. Perfect, Weston,
Dennis, and Snell (2008) have proposed that the effects of the Navon
task and of describing on face recognition are caused by a shift away
from automatic processing and towards controlled processing. If
describing a face shifts people to controlled processing, then a
concurrent controlled processing task might interfere with that
controlled process, resulting in the describers defaulting to the
automatic process. This predicts that if such a concurrent task were
crossed with the standard verbal overshadowing manipulation, the verbal
overshadowing impairment would be alleviated in the concurrent
task condition.
I am proposing that the concurrent task
would be holding a target face in memory for a later aligned-composite
face recognition task.
Ashley Oesterle is a new
volunteer who is willing to learn to code the data from PR1 with
gender. She will come to this meeting and Nikita will take her to the
lab and show her how to code the data.
Present:
Nikita Driscoll, Jennifer Lucas, NEW, Heidy Lichty, Ashley Oesterle
I updated the Members.xls file for the NEW people.
John will contact Blake Miller to see about matching up times to sit in
on CP3
Heidy will start working on the interleaving data. We'll meet 10am this
Friday.
Jennifer
Lucas is working on the Math analogies lit search with Stephanie
Martin. She will read the meeting notes from 1/27/09, she will get a
copy of the Didierjean,
A and Nogry, S (2004) paper, and she will co-ordinate with Stephanie to
meet with me on Friday 2-20-09.

Sixth Week of Fifteen, Tues. 2-17-09
Heidi met with me on
Friday 2-13-09. I showed her how to code the data, I started the Excel
file, a updated the variable code key. I started a data folder. I also
put an interleaving folder in the Ryan Lab Group folder. I also gave
Heidy the files in her U: drive. She has access the lab, and access to
the Ryan Lab group folder. She knows how to check sona-systems to find
out when CP3 is running in the lab. We put the raw data in the lab.
Got an email from Patricia Goodridge and responded:

Hi
Dr. Ryan,
I emailed you last week about the research assistant meetings on
Tuesdays. I am not able to change my work schedule for at
least a
month. My employer has been very flexible with my schedule
and I
really don't want to push it. I was wondering if I could meet
with you
separately for a few minutes each week just to be briefed on the
meetings. I am available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12-3.
If this
is too much of a hassel I understand, there is another research
assistant position available with Dr. Milvesky. Please let me know what
my possibilities are. Thank you
Patricia
Patricia,
Not a problem. You should probably stop in to my office briefly so that
I can update you. Just go to my website at
http://faculty.kutztown.edu/rryan, click on my schedule, and follow the
instructions at the top of the page to pick a time to meet with me.
There is something I really need help with that you can probably get
involved with. Kirsten Williams has been carrying most of the load for
the Local/Global crew. She needs to prepare a grant proposal and a
presentation to the Undergraduate Research Grant Committee. Its already
kind of overdue. If you could help her out it would be very valuable.
Her email address is kwill802@kutztown.edu. Please contact her
immediately and make arrangements for her to show you how you can help.
--- Dr. Ryan
Present: Just Kirsten. The CP3 people did
not need to meet today, although I want to find out what they are
doing. I'll need to tell them they need to send me a weekly update via
email. For PR1 with gender, Ashley Oesterle is coding that data. For
PR2 face to face, Melissa Gilroy should be working on
that. Brittany Robison, Lisa Scala, and Sarah Windfelder might
also be working on that, although I think that only Sarah Windfelder is
still active. For the Math and Analogy lit search, Stephanie Martin is
working on that. I will need all of those people to send me weekly
updates to help me determine whether I need to meet with them.
I'll
send an email to the new people ( I'll need to make an email list ) to
find out who is going to attend meetings and offer their services.
Kirsten
and I looked at what she has available to make a new proposal and a new
.ppt for a presentation for getting funds for the Pgh conference. She
will have the new proposal and new .ppt for me to look at on Tues
3/10/09 (the Tues. after spring break).
Kirsten and I
talked about doing a replication of Macrae and Lewis and Perfect, but
varying the visual angle. We will need the Bank Robbery tape copied to
a DVD. She will work on that after we are done with the grant proposal.

Seventh Week of Fifteen, Tues. 2-24-09
=======================
Meeting notes:
Present: John Andracchio, Mara Wilde, Samantha Crist
Mara and Samantha were given Melissa Gilroy's email. They will contact
her to offer their help in running PR2 face to face.
I
also updated the researchers on CP3 to include John and Greg. John will
continue sitting in. He will also begin reading materials about the
study on the Ryan Lab group folder as well as background papers I'll
give him.
=====================
This weeks meeting will
be devoted to getting new members started. I emailed those who
expressed interest, but haven't been at a meeting yet to encourage them
to come to this meeting.
One of the projects that needs help and would be easy to do is to run
subjects in PR2 face to face.
Greg
Lancioti reports that he has been sitting in on sessions with Blake.
Blake is running on Thursdays. Greg says he is looking forward to
running lots of subjects.
Blake reports that he has had Greg sit in twice, John Andracchio sat in
once, and he is continuing to run on Thursdays.
The next meeting (3/10/09 - after the
Spring Break and after EPA) will be with Kirsten who has agreed to have
the proposal and the .ppt presentation to request a grant from the URC
to defray the cost of the EPA trip to Pittsburgh.
Meetings
after that will depend on what feedback I get from the crews. I have
asked them to send me an email at least weekly letting me know what
they are doing.
Here's the email I sent:
Hello all,
The next meeting of the Ryan
Lab Group (Tues 2-24-09) will be
devoted to new members.
The
meeting after that will be with Kirsten regarding preparing the URC
proposal and presentation to apply for a grant to fund the trip to
Pittsburgh.
However, I need to have one member from each of the crews send me
an email at least once a week to update me. Please send it by Friday,
so that on Saturday I can send out an email to everyone letting them
know which group I need
to meet with on
the upcoming Tues. In the email, simple tell me what has gone on that
week. Even if you have not been able to do anything, still send the
email to tell me that. That way I will know if your group
needs more help. Tell me if you feel that you do or do not need to
meet. I'll use those emails to inform all the groups as to whom I need
to meet with on the upcoming Tues.
For right now, I'll ask Blake to report for the CP3 group, and Kirsten for the
Local/Global group.
For the PR2 group,
I'm still waiting to hear for sure who is active and able to run PR2
face to face. I believe Melissa Gilroy was doing that, so I'll ask her
to be the person to report. However, I need to hear from Brittany
Robison and Sara Windfelder regarding whether you can run subjects.
Forgive me if you have already told me. If you did, I didn't make a
note of it and need to hear again. I'll be sure to document your answer
this time so I don't keep asking.
Thanks.
-- Dr. Ryan
I notice I did not specify anyone from the Lit search group or the
interleaving group to be the contact person.
I also sent individual emails to some members in case they are not
reading emails to the whole group.
Brittany
Robison did get back to me and said she can run subjects. She can't
attend meetings, but will stop in to see me to get started. I made sure
the study is up and running and that Brittany, as well as Sarah
Windfelder, are listed as researchers.
Sarah W. got back to me
to say she doesn't know how to run subjects in the study, and is
working on the Psy Chi paper now. I'll contact her to see if she would
be willing to learn from Brittany, even though she is working on the
paper, because the study is so easy.
Also,
Melissa Gilroy got back to me. She is running subjects as much as
possible, but needs help. I responded about Brittany, Sarah, and
possible newcomers to help.
On
Friday, 2-20-09, at 2pm, Stephanie Martin and Jennifer Lucas stopped in
to share what they had found in their lit search on analogy in math,
and to get further guidance. We reviewed the ideas we had come up with
from Jan. 27th. Here are the notes from that meeting, which are at
media:/sda1/Documents/Current/Research/Ideas for Spring 2009
(20096)/Analogies in Math/research proposal 1-27-09 Revised 1-29-09.doc
Meeting
with Stephanie Martin and Jennifer Lucas Friday 2-20-09.
We
reviewed the proposal above. That proposal had been developed from a
previous meeting.
The
experiment described would be fine for answering the research
question stated. However, we need to know whether that research
question would be of interest to people in the field.
The
Didierjean and Nogry (2004) paper on which our proposed study is
based may help us understand whether our research question would be
of interest. It may also help us to know how people in the field
treat generality and abstraction.
So,
before our next meeting, Stephanie, Jennifer, and I will read that
paper to try to be sure of whether our proposed study is going to
answer an interesting questions, or, if not, what would be a better
question.
The
D and N (2004) paper will be just one starting point. We will also
get copies of the Gick and McGarry (1992) paper that D and N cite.
And Stephanie and Jennifer will check the Hunter and Ligon (2008)
paper that cites D and N to see why they cited them.
We
will meet again on next Friday 2-27-09 at 2:00pm.

Ninth Week of Fifteen, Tues. 3-10-09
==========================
News:
Patricia
Goodridge stopped in on Monday 3/9/09 to see what I needed her to do,
since she can't come to the regular meetings. I had told her earlier
that I would like her to help Kirsten with the proposal and .ppt
presentation for a grant to defray the cost of EPA. However, I have
since heard from Kurt Friehauf that in order to be re-imbursed, at
least the proposal, if not the presentation, would have to be received
by the committee before we go. I don't believe Kirsten was able to send
the proposal, so it looks like we will not receive reimbursement.
Blake
stopped in to get his documentation for having been a research
assistant for over a year signed. He reported that he is still running
more subjects in CP3. He is running this coming Thursday, 3/12/09, from
9 - 11 and John will sit in. I put that time slot on my calendar so
that, if possible, I can sit in as well. We discussed the fact that he
should email John and Greg to remind them of the timeslot. Also, in the
future, he should list himself, and whoever might be able to sit in, as
the researchers on his time slots. That way they will all receive an
email reminder from the system of the timeslot. I advised him to
continue sending his own individual email as well at first, and, in it,
to explain that John and Greg should, in the future, watch for an email
reminder from the system. I also removed Josh Kingma as a researcher on
that project.
I had heard back from Brittany Robison back on
2/23/09 that she could help run PR2 face to face. I responded on
2/24/09 that she should use my website's calendar to pick a time to
meet with me. She hasn'e met with me yet or emailed me.
I had
heard back from Sarah Windfelder on 2/21/09 that she needs training in
order to help run PR2 face to face, and that she is working on her
paper for Psy Chi right now. I responded asking her if she could run
subjects. I said she could either stop in to see me or to get in touch
with Brittany to get the training. So far I have not seen or heard from
her either.
I had heard from Melissa Gilroy on 2/26/09. Mara
Wilde did contact her to try to set up a time to learn to run PR2 face
to face. Apparently, Samantha Crist has not contacted her yet. Also,
she asked if she could use OM 297 to run PR2 face to face. I responded
by sending her a list of times the room is available and told her that
she would also have to arrange a time that I or someone could let her
in. I haven't heard back from her since.
I met with the Math
Analogies lit search group, Stephanie Martin and Jennifer Lucas on
2/27/09. The notes of that meeting are at
media:/sda1/Documents/Current/Research/Ideas for Spring 2009
(20096)/Analogies in Math/research proposal 1-27-09 Revised
1-29-09.doc. I will meet with them again on this coming Friday, 3/13/09
at 2pm.

Weekly reports from crew leaders:
CP3 - Blake Miller - He stopped in today (Tues. 3/10/09) as noted above.
PR2 face to face - Melissa Gilroy - Have not heard from her since

Melissa Gilroy to ask her to try to set up a time when she could use OM
297 to run PR2 face to face and to remind her to report weekly. ---
DONE 3/10/09
Decide on a plan for the next meeting: --- DONE 3/10/09
I don't need to meet with the CP3 crew yet. I'm sitting in on training
sessions
I don't need to meet with the PR2 face to face crew. They are running
subjects. I just need to hear from them.
I don't need to meet on Tuesdays with the Math Analogies lit search
group because I am meeting on Fridays.
There's no need to meet with Heidi Lichty about the Interleaving study.
I just need to hear from her.
I can meet weekly on Tuesdays until further notice with the
Local/Global crew about the new experiments.
===================================
Agenda: (this will have to be changed since the proposal and .ppt are
now probably moot)
Meet with Kirsten Williams to see the proposal and the .ppt to request
a travel grant for the trip to EPA in Pgh.
We will meet about the new experiment.
=====================================
Meeting notes
Met
with Kirsten only: I gave her the my original Bank Robbery tape to put
on a DVR. I also found materials from the first Local/Global experiment
that we did. I sent them to her via email as a zipped file. She can use
them to develop scripts, materials, etc. for the next Local/Global
study. In that study we will manipulate both the local/global
processing and the size/visual angle of the Navon letters. Kirsten will
email Patricia Goodridge, and Ashley to let them know what she is
working on and to see if they can help.

Tenth Week of Fifteen, Tues. 3-17-09
==================================
News:
I heard back from Melissa Gilroy on 3/10/09. She reports: I did hear
from both Mara Wilde and Samantha Crist. I am trying to set
something up with them next week to show them how to run subjects for
PR 2 face to face. I am really constrained this week because I have
grad school interviews both tomorrow and Friday so I will be gone all
day and Thursday I have my internship until 7 pm. I will definitely
come in to see you next week and figure out a time to run subjects in
OM 297.
Friday 3/13/09 - Ashley Oesterle - has been sick, but will have PR1
data with gender done by end of next week (Fri 3/20/09)
Friday 3/13/09 - Heidi Lichty stopped in - She picked up the late early
retention data for two more subjects. She will get their data entered.
She will also try to do chi squares on individual test items as a
funtion of condition. She will do one, and bring me the output on a
flash drive so that I can look at it before she does more of them.
I did the individual test item analyses using SX and got this:

Eleventh Week of Fifteen, Tues. 3-24-09
Agenda as of 3/23/09: Meet with the Local/Global crew about the new
experiment.
Meeting
notes: I met with Kirsten. We wrote up a file in which we worked out
the maximum size for the small Navon letters in order to keep the
visual angle less than 7 degrees. The file is:
/media/sda1/Documents/Current/Research/Ideas
for Spring 2009 (20096)/Local Global/visual angle information/Info
about visual angle.doc
A copy of Info about visual angle.doc is in
smb://kutztown\rryan@stucluster/Shared/Psychology/Ryan
Lab Group/2007-2008/Loc_glob_live/materials/Navon lettes
(Yes,
letters is misspelled)
Kirsten has Shawn and Ashley trying to
find their original binders of Navon letters to give back to us. She
also has Bevin and Sam trying to do the same. She will tell them that
we need them in two weeks. She will also tell them that if they
re-print them from the .ppt, they have to be printed in such a way that
they are the same size as the originals.
Kirsten has Patricia
working on converting the video of the bank robbery to a DVD. She has
said that she can do that in two weeks.
She will try to get
someone on making the small Navon letters. She will try an art student
she knows. If that doesn't work, then she will go to the department of
visual design to look for help.
============================
News:
Interleaving study -
Heidy Lichty - Mon. 3/23/09
I entered the Immediate testing scores (Fall 2008) for sections 70
& 40 and the Training data for section 70 on Friday.
Saved on
Raw_data_interleaving_Fl_08_51_SSs_3-20-09.xls. Will work on entering
more next Wednesday.
PR1 with gender - Ashley
Oesterl - Mon. 3/23/09
Done coding all of the PR1 with gender data. Now we need to begin
exploring and analyzing that data.
Tues 3/24/09
I just forgot to tell you a few things about the data;
first, there is
10 subjects surveys missing. Secondly, someone had entered 275-279, and
there are two subject #275s. And the people who had entered that data
put the other 275 in the space of 274 so i thought they did this for
some specific reason so I entered subject #274 as the last data entry
after subject # 250. I will try and catch you in your office today to
show you the files.
PR2 face to face -
Melissa Gilroy - Mon 3/23/09
Just wanted to give you and update on PR2. I met with Mara and Samantha
today and showed them how to run subjects. I explained to them how to
access the study as well as how to create timeslots and give credit to
participants. They should be getting in touch with you in regards to
their completion of the human subject training. They both still need to
complete it and I think they are nearly finished. They should also be
getting in touch with you about filling out the paperwork to get the
combination to the lockbox. They may observe me running subjects one
more time so they feel comfortable with it.
Local/Global - Patricia
Goodridge and Kirsten - Tues 3/24/09
Hi Dr. Ryan,
Kirsten and I met today and I assumed the position of transferring the
bank robbery from VHS to DVD. I gave myself a two week
deadline. I
will then give you (in person) the copies. I was informed to
guard the
VHS with my life and I will do so. Kirsten and I will be
meeting once
a week so she can brief me on the tuesday meetings. Cya in
class
tomorrow.

News:
Fear and Disgust - Ashley
Oesterle - Thurs 3-26-09
Met
with Ashley Oesterle. We were able to pull the 351 (or whatever number)
subjects' data into SX and take a quick look at the first few insects.
We looked at disgust ratings as a function of gender. Females rated
higher, sometimes obviously significantly so (even though I didn't do
the t tests - I did error bar graphs).
We then found a list of
the names of the 8 insects used in PR2 and a key for the stim numbers
and names of all 44 insects used in PR1. With that, Ashley can
determine which stim numbers were the 8 in PR2. She does not know how
to use SPSS, but will try to learn to:
Label gender and condition (disgust=1, and fear=2)
Select just disgust first, later just fear.
For
each type of ratings, get the two independent samples t test for the
rating as a function of gender for each of the 8 insects - a total of
16 t-tests. I told her Lee Walters can help, or she can try to get an
SPSS handbook from Dr. Meehan.
PR2 face to face - Mara
Wilde and Melissa Gilroy - Fri 3-27-09
From Mara Wilde:
Dr. Ryan,
I met with Melissa Gilroy while she ran subjects for the PR2 study. She
showed me the room and she said I need to meet with you to sign a
waiver so I can have access to the key to the room. She also
showed me
how to create time/slots to run subjects. I have also completed the
"training" for ethical standards for dealing with human participants
(that thing on the website). I don't know what I should do now or where
I should go from here. Let me know if I should attend the
next
meeting, whenever that may be, or anything else I may need to do.
Thank you,
~Mara Wilde~
My response:
You can bring me the certificate and sign the waiver any time. Go to my
wesite at http://faculty.kutztown.edu/rryan,
click on My Teaching Schedule, and follow the instructions at the top
of the page to pick a time to stop in. Or you can come to the meeting
and do it. Thanks.

Heidy Lichty - Mon. 3-30-09
Dr. Ryan,
I entered training data for sec 40 of Dr. Howell's Fall interleaving
group and started to enter the early retention data for him as well.

Heidi,
Thanks. Can you estimate how soon we can look at the performance in the
individual test items?

Math Analogies Lit search
- Stephanie Martin - 3-30-09
Here
are those 3 research papers we went over on Friday! Catrambone '94 and
'96 and Chen '02. Hopefully they attached! (they were).
===========================
Met
with Travis Barron. I diagrammed the CP3, PR, and Local/Global studies.
The quickest study Travis could start on would be the new Local /Global
study about the size of the Navon letters. In the mean time, he could
look at the materials for the CP3 study.
I will have to get Travis permission to access the Ryan Lab Group
folder.

Local/Global - Patricia
Goodridge and Kirsten - Fri 4/3/09
My email to Patricia:
Tricia,
Thanks for creating those DVD's. I tried one of them.
The video was good. The sound was very weak, however. Did you have to
actually transfer the tape to each DVD, or were you able to make one
DVD by transferring from the tape, and then copy from one DVD to
another?
I'd like to look into getting some copies of the DVD with better
audio. Could you please check with someone at AV and see if there is a
way to improve the audio on the DVD? And then, if there is a way to
make copies of the DVD without transferring from the tape every time,
then I'd like to have you make some more with better audio. See what
you can find out. Thanks.
Her response Mon. 4/6/09:
Hi Dr. Ryan,
I will look into that. I did them each individually, I did
not look
into a mass production because of the deadline, but will look into it
because of the audio issue.

PR1 with gender - Ashley
Oesterle - Wed 4-8-09
From Ashley
:
Hi professor,
Just wanted to let you know I will be done by next Friday with the
comparison. I've just been reading up on SPS and theres a lot to read
thats a big part of the delay but it will be done by next friday.
My response:
What exactly are you going to compare? Is it the fear ratings of the
males to those of the females, and the disgust ratings of the males to
those of the females? Just for the 8 insects of interest, first,
correct?
Her response:
yes. I'm doing 2 independent sample t-test for the fear and disgust
from both genders ratings with just those 8 insects.
Another response from me:
Ashley,
I happened to find this website that might be helpful with SPSS:

No meeting
=========================
News:
CP3 - Blake Miller - Mon
4-13-09
Dr. Ryan,
I just realized that I haven't given you an update on
I'm3 in a while. Greg, John and I have been running subjects
for the
past several weeks on Mondays. Whoever last week we did not
set up a
time slot and no one signed up for today. Me and Greg have a
timeslot
open for Wednesday at 10 but No one has signed up yet. If no
one signs
up for that one I think I'm going to take that time to show Greg how to
code. The last time we will be running subjects will most
likely be
next Monday, we already have two subjects signed up for that time.
As far as Greg and John go they have both been
showing up and have
each run a few times, Greg has done a couple more then John though.
Greg really seems to understand whats going on and after one
or two
more times I think he will most likely be ready to have you sit in on
him and go off on his own. John is doing ok but doesn't have
it down
enough to go on his own. John is not yet able to organize the
materials on his own. I'm hoping that by the end of this
semester I
can get him doing that.
I will keep you updated over the next couple weeks with how
things are going. Thanks for your time.

PR2 - Samantha Crist -
Wed 4-15-09
Hi Dr. Ryan,
I just recently joined your research group and I just wanted to let you
know that I don't think I will be able to attend the meeting next
Tuesday because of the sports banquet. I would like to
continue doing
research with you next semester though. Also, I am working on
the PR2
face to face study and I ran subjects once with Melissa Gilroy and then
emailed her to do it again but never heard back from her. I
don't know
if there is anything else I should be doing, but I'll stop by your
office sometime soon to drop off my NIH certification form.
Thanks a lot,
Samantha Crist
My response:
Samantha,
Thanks for keeping in touch. Make sure you also keep in touch at the
beginning of next semester (and even over the summer if possible). I
need my research assistants to take the initiative to either just go
ahead and do what they need to do without waiting for instructions from
me, or to take the initiative to get the instructions if they need
them. Otherwise, I have too many people to keep track of, and an
assistant can end up just sitting around not doing anything when they
otherwise could.
I will need someone to begin running subjects in PR2 face to face right
at the beginning of next semester (even over the summer if possible).
Because you have your certification, and because the PR2 face to face
study is so easy to run, I will need you to be at least one of the
people to do that. If you do not feel ready to jump in and do that
without some further instructions, let me know. This could be a good
opportunity for you to quickly get some valuable experience. I'll also
keep trying to recruit more volunteers for that study to help for you,
if you wish, but, again, you will have to let me know.
--- Dr. Ryan
Interleaving study -
Heidi Lichty - Tues. 4-14-09
Dr. Ryan,
I almost have all of Fall's interleaving information in. I
have only
the late retention test scores for your sections 30 & 51 to
enter.
Should take me 20 minutes which I believe I can do this
Friday and run
the analyzes.
-Heidi
My response:
Great. I am anxious to see those analyses.
--- Dr. Ryan
My email to all volunteer
research assistants:
Hello all,
Today (Tues 4-14-09) I will just be meeting with Jen
Lucas. However, for our last meeting of the year, next week, Tues
4-21-09, at 4:30pm in OM276, everyone is invited to come. We'll wrap up
the semester and look ahead to next semester. Please let me know in
advance if you can make it. If enough people can come, I'll order some
pizza. Also, if you can't come, then please let me know via email if
you are planning to continue next semester. Thanks.
Response from Madison Nagai:
Hi Dr. Ryan!
I just wanted to let you
know I will come to that meeting next Tuesday, the 21st!

Response from Stephanie Martin:
Dr. Ryan-
I believe that I will be able to make it on Tuesday 4/21 to the last
meeting. I am planning on continuing to do research in the
Fall with
you as well. I printed an article earlier this week that I am
just
about to sit down and read over that relates to the math/analogies lit.
search. I have not been able to get a hold of Jennifer to
find out if
we are meeting tomorrow- Friday 4/17 at 2pm or not...I checked your
schedule online and did not see us scheduled to meet, but if I don't
hear back from you or her I'll just pop up to your office when I get
out of my class at 1:50 since I'm only a floor down anyways.
