Technology in laboratory

• Most Universities now have laboratories for research.

• It increases information availability.

• Some people like the advances.

• Some people feel it has lost certain emotional parts of the research.

Examples of current Laboratories

• Center for Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (CMSA)

• Military and Government Programs

• Education Facilities

Computers in modeling

• This system serves as great use to astrophysics, chemistry, biology, an psychology.

• Computers in modeling was developed shortly after the creation of the Manhattan Project in World War II

• Computers in modeling is used to illustrate specific scenarios to study the answers to solve the problem

An example of computers in modeling in psychology is the (ACT-R)

• Created by Jon Robert Anderson

• The (ACT-R) shows the basic thinking processes of the human brain and how information is perceived.

• This method was inspired by cognitive neuroscience
