LearnLab
The Pittsburgh Science of Learning Centers research
facility, LearnLab, makes use of advanced technologies to facilitate
the design of experiments that combine the realism of classroom field
studies and the rigor of controlled laboratory studies. It is
designed to dramatically increase the ease and speed with which
learning researchers can create the rigorous, theory-based experiments
that pave the way to an understanding of robust learning.
