Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Introduction to elementary statistical procedures : Concept of variable, measures of central tendency and variability, normal distribution, probabilities, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing and inferential statistics, binomial distribution, chi-square tests for categorical data, Student t tests for paired and independent samples, non-parametric tests, correlations and linear regressions.
The course emphasizes the use of statistical procedures in situations that psychologists might encounter. The content of the course therefore focuses on data analysis and exercise solving.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
- Analyze data from scientific studies in psychology, speech and language therapy and education, with basic statistical treatments and to accurately interpret the results
- Read and understand the results of scientific studies that include basic statistical analyses
- Calculate the statistics required for the administration of standardized psychological tests (for example the Z-score).
- Adopt a critical approach toward the generalization of findings from sample measures.
