Psych Lab 101: The Definitive Pocket Laboratory for Psychology Students

The perfect companion to any introductory psychology course, Psych Lab 101 contains 35 well-known cognitive and clinical psychology experiments you can try yourself. See how you compare to classic results - figure out how long it takes to mentally scan through groups of objects in the Sternberg scanning paradigm, see if words are recognized faster than letters in a word superiority task, try to spot subtle changes in the change blindness paradigm, and much more! Also included are 11 visual illusions that can be adjusted in real-time, so you can see how size, speed, orientation, or other factors influence your perception. Each experiment includes background information with references, history, and a description of methods. In addition, you can try several versions of each experiment to experience an effect with different stimuli, timing, or conditions. Students can upload their data for automatic combined analysis with the rest of their class. Psych Lab 101 contains the following experiments.
