小麥的部落格: 心理學實驗法

(博客來上的價格竟然要五千多塊！去死吧＝　＝)
↑Experimental Psychology: A Case Approach (8th Edition) by M. Kimberly MacLin

「心理學實驗法」是高醫心理系大一下學期、大二上學期的必修科目。（本來是大二上、下學期的必修科目，不過系上有系上的考量吧，就換了。）

心理學是一門研究內在心理歷程以及外顯行為的科學，能夠沾到的層面有知覺、認知、情緒、人格.......機哩瓜啦。心理學的實驗比較像是一種手段，是為了要操弄某些變項，以得到關於心理歷程、或是行為的變化。（和物理、化學、生物實驗有點類似，只是他們不用找受試者ㄒㄒ）

找不到書目大綱，只好看一下簡介

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Maclin and Solso combine a text and case approach to examine the methods of experimental psychology. Using published research findings, students read, critique, and analyze actual cases/experiments from all aspects of psychology that exemplify various design principles.

This book addresses two basic challenges that students and instructors often face in the research methods course:

How do you relate research methods to the real world of research?

The pedagogical method in this book uses actual experiments to help students learn how design principles are applied in research. In this edition of Experimental Psychology the student will read, critique, and analyze approximately 75 cases drawn from professional literature representing every major area of psychology — from animal studies to child psychology.

Do your students often ask, “Why am I here?”

Using this text, students will learn how we know what we know about psychological science. Teaching by example, MacLin and Solso educate students how to do research, as well as sharpen their reading, thinking, and writing skills.

就如同上面所簡述的，本書分成兩個大部分：實驗心理學的基本原則、以及實驗的分析。透過這本書，作者希望我們能夠有懷疑的精神，要 know what 也要 know how。總共有400多頁，這篇網誌當然是說不完的。

這門課的授課老師是Sakurai，專業是知覺，同時也是系上的系主任，綽號大刀。（無誤）

上課內容早已騰上雲端

上課的方式如許多~~淪陷於ppt塞資料魔人~~的老師一樣，採用簡報投影上課。但還是有些不一樣：一、老師的投影片很簡潔，很多說出來的話在投影片上找不到。（萬劍歸宗？）二、投影片的內容其實已經在高醫維基裏頭的心理系條目上了。

投影片的風格迥異，考試的方式也不一樣。

常見的考試題型不就是是非題、選擇題、申論題嗎？（常見的拉），在大概第三次小考後，考試的題目幾乎都是，改錯題。改錯題？改錯題見的了世面嗎？當然可以，它還可以是殺手鐧哩。想了解題目的型式的話，前往高醫變奏曲----心實平常考（註：不要看網址名稱，很可怕）

多樣的加分方式，任君選擇

因為「改錯題」的遠近馳名，各屆的學長姊都會警惕自己的直屬要好好地度過這關的話，就要把握最高值十分的加分機會。如何加分？老師給了三種方法：
