Rate My Professor Frank Baughman

Baughman has led significant projects, including the development of StatHand, an interactive decision tree mobile application designed to guide students in statistical decision-making for research questions, hypotheses, and data types. This cross-institutional collaboration across four Australian universities received funding from the Australian Government Office of Learning and Teaching Innovation and Development Grant (Category A) amounting to $161,000. The project produced the StatHand iOS app, a companion website, and related scholarly outputs. He also spearheaded the Great Australian Brain Training Challenge, funded by Curtin University, to assess the effectiveness of brain-training games. Key publications include 'Active Learning in Research Methods Classes Is Associated with Higher Knowledge and Confidence, Though not Evaluations or Satisfaction' (Frontiers in Psychology, 2016, with P.J. Allen, cited over 70 times); 'Introducing StatHand: A Cross-Platform Mobile Application to Support Students' Statistical Decision Making' (2016); 'Psychopathology and Neurocognition in the Era of the p-Factor: The Current Landscape and the Road Forward' (Psychiatry International, 2021, cited 25 times); 'What Accounts for the Factors of Psychopathology? An Investigation Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling' (2022, cited 31 times); 'Challenges and Needs of Cancer Survivors with Persistent Cognitive Impairment' (2023, cited 57 times); and 'Profiles of Academic and Cognitive Abilities Differ in Younger and Older Children from Diverse Socioeconomic Neighbourhoods' (Australian Journal of Psychology, 2024). His work has garnered over 780 citations on Google Scholar, demonstrating impact in statistical education, cognitive science, and health psychology applications. Baughman teaches courses such as Sensation and Perception and Individual Differences.
