Summary

For over half a century, the Stevens' Handbook of Experimental Psychology has served as the definitive reference for the field. In an era when the field of experimental psychology appears to be experiencing much fractionation, the Stevens' Handbook of Experimental Psychology continues to serve as a cohesive reference unifying the diverse body of research. The Third Edition continues the rigorous tradition set by Stanley Stevens of adhering to a level of scholarship sufficient to serve the needs of academics, and a level of clarity to aid graduate students just beginning in the field. *Revised and updated edition of the definitive resource for experimental psychology offers comprehensive coverage of the latest findings in the field, as well as the explosion of research in neuroscience. *The most reputable resource available in the field - Stanley Smith Stevens' research and writing has influenced generations of experimental psychologists. *Expanded coverage - from two to four volumes, including in-depth material on Methodology, Behavioral Genetics, and more. Individual volumes available separately. See below.

Author Biography

Hal Pashler has been Professor of Psychology at University of California, San Diego since receiving his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1985. In 1999, the National Academy of Sciences awarded Pashler the Troland Research Award "for his many experimental breakthroughs in the study of spatial attention and executive control, and for his insightful analysis of human cognitive architecture." Pashler's research has examined selective and divided attention, mechanisms of human learning and the question of how learning can be made more efficient, and visual awareness, among other topics.
