Goal: Review of core statistics for psychophysiology research
Prepare for the lab
Recall basic statistical concepts (from high school or from statistics at university or from Wikipedia: Statistics and Statistical_hypothesis_testing). As a guideline, you can follow the keywords included with the Q&A session below.
Materials
Q&A Session – a short series of keywords to “warm up”. Describe (in a few words) what are:
Null hypothesis and Alternative hypothesis (and how they change when the t-test is one-tailed or two-tailed)
Normal distribution
Significance level (alpha)
p-value
Type 1 and Type 2 errors
Student's t-test
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
Multiple comparisons
Post-hoc tests
Practice session:
Practice the basics of statistics by using Student's t-test and ANOVA to verify some statistical hypotheses in the Jupyter Notebook: Statistics 101
