Five foundational chapters in Part I introduce readers to theory construction, observational and experimental research techniques, ethical issues, and reading and writing research reports. Each of the ten chapters in Part II is devoted to a specific content area (for example, psychophysics, perception, and conditioning and learning. In these chapters, the authors discuss and clarify research methods within the context of actual research methods conducted in these specific content areas. The result?

This review is from: Experimental Psychology: Understanding Psychology Research (with InfoTrac®) (Hardcover)
Had a hard time understanding what they were trying to explain. Poor examples were given. As soon as I opened to a page I had to read, I noticed many typos on the same page!
