This subject introduces and examines the design and implementation of experimental
research. Emphasis is on the use of the experiment as an inferential tool to test
theory and build an empirical foundation for the science. As such, coverage will include
detailed discussion of matters of experimental design and the practical use of statistical
procedures.Beginning with the basic designs and using these as building blocks for
more complex designs, all major experimental designs commonly used by psychologists
will be covered. In parallel with a detailed description of major designs, a comprehensive
conceptual description and practical application of appropriate statistical analysis
of data collected from each of the designs will also be provided.
