Features: Experimental Psychology, broadly speaking, refers to the science that studies psychological phenomena and behavioral patterns using experimental methods. Experimental psychology is a part of scientific psychology; while narrowly defined, it refers to the discipline that studies the theory, methods, procedures, and related issues of psychological experiments, i.e., the "psychology of psychological experiments." These two distinct yet closely linked meanings encompass the full understanding of the research objects and tasks of experimental psychology. Experimental psychology advocates studying psychology and behavior under controlled experimental conditions. The application scope of this experimental method is expanding and has become the foundation for the development of various branches of modern psychology. This book is one of the "National Medical College Psychology Professional Series Textbooks" written to train clinical psychologists. It aims to introduce the basic theories and methods of psychological experiments, enabling readers to initially learn how to apply basic experimental methods and apply them to future studies and research.
