An introduction to the Python programming language for beginners
Date: September 2, 2014
Location: Nottingham, UK
The objective of this workshop is to introduce and motivate the use of the Python programming language in research in cognitive psychology. Within the last ten years, the development of scientific and numerical libraries in Python has grown to the point where Python can now be used as a scientific and numerical computing environment comparable to products like Matlab, R and Mathematica. As of yet, however, it appears that knowledge of the potential applications of Python to research in cognitive psychology is still rather limited. The aim of this tutorial, therefore, is to describe these areas of application and to advocate the advantages and appeals of using Python as the principal programming language in cognitive psychology research.
