Divided into three parts and with unique extension exercises to guide you at whatever level you are at, this textbook is the perfect tool for teaching practical undergraduate classes on research methods, as well as acting as a comprehensive reference text for the professional scientist. Essential reading for anyone using Psycho Py software, the second edition has been fully updated and includes multiple new chapters about features included in recent versions of Psycho Py, including running studies online and collecting survey data. Part I teaches you all the basic skills you need (and some more advanced tips along the way) to design experiments in behavioral sciences. Each chapter introduces anew concept but will offer a series of working experiments that you can build on. Part II presents more details important for professional scientists intending to use Psycho Py for published research. This part is recommended reading for science professionals in any discipline. Part III covers a range of specialist topics, such as those doing f MRI research, or those studying visual perception. “This book fills an incredibly important gap in the field. Many users of Psycho Py will be excited to learn that there is now a highly accessible and well-designed written guide to refine their skills.” –
