d) Internal Grants: Received with Undergraduate students Barrett Honors College has a $1500 External Examiner Grant program per student in which the College will pay to have an expert at the Undergraduate defense. I have been awarded this grant with 14 of my Undergraduate honors theses students to date for approximately a total of $20,000. Barrett, The Honors College has a $500 Thesis Reimbursement program per student to help pay for expenses to collect data. Most often my students use this program to pay their participants, pay for parking or purchase small equipment. I have been awarded this grant with approximately 29 of my students for a total of $14,500.

Undergraduate Research Interns (63 students from (1999 - 2008)/Now Individualized Instruction The undergraduate students I supervise are directly involved in all aspects of the research process. Each semester my lab collects data on one or several research projects. The undergraduate research interns, proofread IRB proposals, consent forms, etc. They help with participant recruitment and after being trained, they collect data using 3-dimensional data collection equipment. Following data collection the students, transfer, organize, and analyze data trial-by-trial. Most undergraduate research interns receive authorship on published abstracts.

The articles are peer reviewed and the Impact factor is 2.4.
Acta Psychologica focuses on empirical studies and evaluative review articles that increase the theoretical understanding of human capabilities. The majority of papers deal with human performance, attention, perception, memory, and decision-making but papers concerned with social processes, development, psychopathology, neuroscience or computational modelling are also welcome provided that they are of direct importance to experimental psychologists and are written so as to be understandable to such a readership. The articles are peer reviewed and the impact factor is 2.3.
Experimental Brain Research accepts original contributions on many aspects of experimental research of the central and peripheral nervous system in the fields of molecular, physiology, behavior, neurochemistry, developmental, cellular and molecular neurobiology, and experimental pathology relevant to general problems of cerebral function.

Shannon D. R. Ringenbach 26 Ecological Psychology is a unique journal publishes original articles that contribute to the understanding of psychological and behavioral processes as they occur within the ecological constraints of animal-environment systems. It focuses on problems of perception, action, cognition, communication, learning, development, and evolution in all species, to the extent that those problems derive from a consideration of whole animal-environment systems. The articles are peer reviewed and the impact factor is 1.5.
Motor Control provides a multidisciplinary examination of human movement across the lifespan. To keep you abreast of current developments in the field of motor control, it offers timely coverage of important topics, including issues related to motor disorders. This international journal publishes many types of research papers, from clinical experimental to modeling and theoretical studies. The articles are peer reviewed and the impact factor is 1.5.
Journal of Motor Behavior is devoted to an understanding of the basic processes and mechanisms underlying motor control, learning, and development. The journal publishes articles from such diverse disciplines as biomechanics, kinesiology, movement disorders, neuroscience, psychology, and rehabilitation. The articles are peer reviewed and the impact factor is 1.4.
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport publishes research in the art and science of human movement that contributes significantly to the knowledge base of the field as new information, reviews, substantiation or contradiction of previous findings, development of theory, or as application of new or improved techniques. The goals of RQES are to provide a scholarly outlet for knowledge that: (a) contributes to the study of human movement, particularly its cross- disciplinary and interdisciplinary nature; (b) impacts theory and practice regarding human movement; (c) stimulates research about human movement; and (d) provides theoretical reviews and tutorials related to the study of human movement. The articles are peer reviewed and the impact factor is 1.3. Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly is the official journal of the International Federation of Adapted Physical Activity.

The articles are peer reviewed and there is no published impact factor at this time.
Mental Health and Physical Activity aims to (1) to foster the inter-disciplinary development and understanding of the mental health and physical activity field; (2) to develop research designs and methods to advance our understanding; (3) to promote the publication of high quality research on the effects of physical activity (interventions and a single session) on a wide range of dimensions of mental health and psychological well-being (e.g., depression, anxiety and stress responses, mood, cognitive functioning and neurological disorders, such as dementia, self-esteem and related constructs, psychological aspects of quality of life among people with physical and mental illness, sleep, addictive disorders, eating disorders), from both efficacy and effectiveness trials. The articles are peer reviewed and there is no published impact factor at this time.
Journal of Motor Learning and Development publishes research that advances the understanding of movement skill acquisition and expression across the lifespan. JMLD aims to provide a platform for innovative research related to factors that influence the learning or re- learning of skills in individuals with various movement-relevant abilities and disabilities. It publishes high-quality studies that provide insight into training or therapeutic interventions that promote motor proficiency, or reduce deficits and decline, in any age group. Research that crosses traditional divides between physical, cognitive, and social domains in motor learning and development is especially encouraged. The articles are peer reviewed and it is a new journal with no published impact factor at this time.
