Experimentology: An Open Science Approach to Experimental Psychology Methods

“Many lecturers struggle with the question of how to teach their students the nuts and bolts of the modern, open science approach to experimentation. This book provides the perfect answer.”
—Eric-Jan Wagenmakers, Department of Psychological Methods, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

“Experimentologyis absolutely stunning and a pleasure to read. It covers all aspects of experimentation in the behavioral sciences, from foundations over statistics to planning, execution, and reporting. It describes and fosters the set of practices, findings, and approaches that enable the construction of robust, precise, and generalizable experiments. The book is unique and precious; there is nothing like it. It is both introductory and sophisticated; it combines depth with accessibility and is as philosophical as it is practical. Conceived in the spirit of open science, it provides the conceptual and methodological framework for overcoming the replication crisis in psychology. The more behavioral scientists who read this book, the better for psychology and behavioral sciences in general.”
—Dr. Ulman Lindenberger, Professor of Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Human Development
