Experience Psychology! A Laboratory Guide to Psychological Science provides a hands-on experience with the science of psychology—and the psychology of science. Students will learn how ideas in psychology are developed, scientifically tested, supported or refuted, and communicated; that is, how psychologists think.

As students read about and discuss research, and then design and do research, they will learn the basics in the art and practice of psychological science. Moreover, psychology is not unique among sciences, so they will also learn about the art and practice of science, in general.
