Something you may not know about me: I had a chance to use my coding skills during a past project with my Honours Supervisor. We had a big study with hundreds of participants and needed to automate data collection and scoring. The tool I helped create got rid of human error completely and freed up our team for other work. It also made generating SPSS outputs quicker and easier. You can see the tool in action at about 8:30 in this video.
Earlier in this project I was also involved in the design of the questionnaire, using the Advanced Branching to send users to different sections based on the participant group they belong in (in this case Younger and Older adults) as levels of the independent variable. The explanation is made accessible using a flowchart in the following segment.
Here are the links to tutorial sections I prepared for undergrad students examining the Face Inversion Effect, which influences holistic face processing. If memory serves, the study also aimed to account for ingroup effects.
The following multi-part tutorial was a request by my undergraduate Honours Supervisor. The tutorial was designed as an educational tool for the research assistants, both the ones I led and future students interested in participating in research at UFV, and it represents another large extracurricular project, unrelated to my undergraduate or Honours courses. Here I document my learning journey in leveraging my previous programming experience (learning a new platform) to work online with the research assistants during the pandemic because we couldn’t meet in person. As a result, I dove into using the Google API scripting for the unique, practical needs of the project we were working on. The video tutorial links are included in the following document:
