The book does a marvelous job of surveying the wide discipline that is now experimental psychology with coverage in each chapter giving at least a nod to the historical foundations in that area. The Goodwin chapter alone is worth the cost of the book.\" \u003ci\u003eRandall W. Engle, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Davis' 'Handbook' would be a useful addition to an advanced undergraduate or graduate level course in general experimental psychology or research methods. Chapters that present research methods in the historical perspective are very good, and as several of the authors point out, clearly show that research methods are not static, but rather have and continue to evolve. I especially appreciate the inclusion of several chapters that deal with research employing non-human subjects.\" \u003ci\u003eDaniel D.

The \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Research Methods in Experimental Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e presents a comprehensive and contemporary treatment of research methodologies used in experimental psychology. The volume is divided into three sections: Part One places experimental psychology in historical context and provides insights into current activities and future trends, Part Two investigates the changing nature of research methodology, experimental design, and analytic procedures, and Part Three features research in selected content areas. The chapters, written by leading researchers in the field, discuss topics such as cross-cultural research, ethical issues, research with animals, comparative psychology, sensation and perception research methods, physiological psychology, and research methods in human memory, cognition, motivation, and psychophysics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis handbook coherently illustrates the range of research methodologies used in experimental psychology and is a vital resource for both students and scholars who wish to expand their knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989341389029,"sku":"NP9780631226499","price":212.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631226499.jpg?v=1761783738","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/handbook-of-research-methods-in-experimental-psychology-isbn-9780631226499","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
