Prof. John K. Kruschke
Q560 for Spring of 2004 will have a different emphasis than the version taught in Spring of 2002. Whereas the Spring 2002 version was a survey of empirical methods across the cognitive and social sciences, the version of Spring 2004 will emphasize experimental methods. The textbook does, nevertheless, describe a number of non-experimental or quasi-experimental methods. The goal of having this course in the Cog Sci curriculum is for all Cog Sci majors to have a basic training in experimental methods. ¶ For more details, see the table of contents of Borden and Abbott (2002). In that linked page, notice that the left-hand column of chapters actually consists of links to expanded chapter descriptions.
