    By presenting a principle or problem in experimental design, the authors then show how the problem has been dealt with in psychological literature. Students read, critique, and analyze actual cases/experiments from all aspects of psychology that exemplify various design principles. Organized into two parts (basic Principles of Experimental Design and Analysis of Experiments), the book combines a text and case approach to examine the methods of experimental psychology. The book contains approximately 75 cases drawn from professional literature representing every major area of psychology—from animal studies to child psychology.
