The majority of basic psychological research remains comfortably in scientific journals. But what if psychological findings could have broader impacts? For example, can what we know about information dissemination in social networks reduce bullying among adolescents? Can what we know about how the developing mind encodes numbers, shapes, and letters improve our teaching of mathematics and reading in schools? Can what we know about visual perception and attention improve our basic interactions with the physical world? This course explores how rigorously designed field experiments, relying on new methods, can transform basic psychological research and move psychology from lab to life.
