Using Laboratory Experiments to Build Better Operations Management Models

Laboratory experiments give researchers a great deal of control, making them useful for testing analytical models. In this monograph I discuss methodological issues in designing and conducting laboratory experiments. I also summarize some of the recent advances in using laboratory experiments in Operations Management.

How to build a better learner.

Thinking cap records electrical signals from the brain of one-year-old Elise Hardwick, who is helping scientists figure out how the youngest children process sounds that make up the building blocks of language.

How to build better memory training games

Can we create engaging training programs that improve working memory (WM) skills? While there are numerous procedures that attempt to do so, there is a great deal of controversy regarding their efficacy. Nonetheless, recent meta-analytic evidence shows consistent improvements across studies on lab-based tasks generalizing beyond the specific training effects (Au et al., 2014; Karbach and Verhae...

From Polar Ice Cores to Better Climate Models ?

Thomas Stocker, Professor of Climate and Environmental Physics and Co-Director of the Physics Institute at the University of Bern in Switzerland, spent his 2006 sabbatical at the IPRC. He worked with IPRC research team leader Axel Timmermann and postdoctoral fellow Oliver Timm on modeling the abrupt climate changes in the past that have resulted from changes in the Atlantic meridional overturni...
