Friday in ABA lab was very quiet.  I’m continuing to condition Tinkerbell with her “ringing the bell” trick!  She still enjoys our “work” time and has fully mastered her trick as you can see in the videos. 

       This week I (along with my lab partners, Lauren and Charlene) need to present our experiement to our ABA class, and  present our apparatus that we are going to be using in our experiment.  We have some great ideas to expand on and I’m very excited about our research.  One of the exciting parts of this class is that we get to experience experimental psychology, observe behaviors in our animals which prompts questions we may have about the behaviors, and  then we create a research project based on our very own questions.  Experimental research, statistics for psychology and assessment are my favorite parts of being a psychologist in training.
