Comments on: Psychology Research Methods: Check Out “The Mappr”! http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2007/10/psych-majors-check-out-the-mappr/ Psychology podcast and resources for students and educators Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:27:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michael http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2007/10/psych-majors-check-out-the-mappr/comment-page-1/#comment-3918 Michael Sun, 08 May 2011 10:43:10 +0000 http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2007/10/11/psych-majors-check-out-the-mappr/#comment-3918 You're right - I do have to do more episodes on research methods. I've been thinking of doing a video episode on chi-square and I could definitely fit in concepts like between vs. within subjects designs. I did these two episodes on research methods - have you watched these? http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2008/02/episode-45-basic-research-design-part-1/ and http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2008/03/episode-52-repost-research-design-part-2-factorial-designs/ You’re right – I do have to do more episodes on research methods.

I liked your stuff. Could you add more on the research methods file. I think it will be helpful if you explain the concepts like: Between-subject and withing subject designs and 1-factor design and factorial designs. Thanks. Cool! I liked your stuff.

I'm working on more chapters now. I hope to have Biology, Therapy and Abnormal out soon. Michael Tamara,

It is impossible to cover the breadth of any psychology topic, although i believe you chose the most salient points for the research subject posted here. So basically, I think the Mappr provides an excellent visual to help clafify any terminology confusion, but perhaps more importantly, it helps users understand the interconnections of various concepts and how to apply mapping as a strategy for future learning. Good job- it is obvious that a lot of time and effort went into the mappr.

You and/or your students would have to know a good deal about Flash in order to customize the file and make other maps. Sorry about that. I'm happy to email you the file though if you'd like. One alternative to what I've done here is an online mapping tool called Cmaps (http://cmap.ihmc.us/). This is a great tool and not hard to learn. You can also easily add audio, links, etc. to the maps you make. Check it out. I used Cmap to make the Episode Map (click on this link at the top of the page to see it). Michael Dave,
