This unique combination offers you unprecedented versatility for teaching research methods or for demonstrating and exploring psychological phenomena. With pre-written experiments the semester is off to a quick start. And yet, because EVERY student gets a fully working version of SuperLab Pro, you can assign homework or an end-of-semester project that requires students to write a completely new experiment from scratch or to modify an existing one. SuperLab Pro's well-known ease of use ensures that the students spend less time learning how to use the software and more time developing their experiments.
This textbook took nearly three years to complete. A meticulous search of the psychology literature was made to identify a set of cognitive experiments which are frequently cited in textbooks and research papers. The list was narrowed down to 25 experiments that illustrate a variety of different experimental paradigms and cover five different content areas:
Each experiment is described in a research report format with quotes and figures from the original articles. These reports will help students understand the thinking behind the design of the experiment and make it easier to read the original research article. A glossary is included to define technical terms. The experiments and accompanying text in SuperLab LT are written by Christopher Chase, Ph.D., of Claremont McKenna College and his able team of assistants led by Ruthanna Gordon.
