The following slides will be helpful in answering the questions related to this case study: Human Research Regulations.

For his dissertation project in psychology, Antonio is studying new approaches to strengthen memory. He can apply these techniques to create interactive Web-based instructional modules. He plans to test these modules with students (ages 18 or older) in a general psychology course, for which he is a teaching assistant. He expects that student volunteers who use the modules will subsequently perform better on examinations than other students. He hopes to publish the results in a conference proceeding on research in learning, because he plans to apply for an academic position after he completes the doctorate.

I. Should Antonio seek IRB approval for his project?

II. If the answer to question #I is yes, what type of IRB review would be appropriate?

III. Can this study be exempted? Why or why not?

IV. Do student volunteers need to give formal informed consent? If so, what information needs to be included in the consent document?
