Here is the free and open textbook from Matthew Crump, our psychology department at Brooklyn College. He also offers a range of great OER resources for learning R Studio, statistics, cognitive psychology as well as research and networking opportunities.

Additionally, here are the textbook materials to follow as we explore different experiments– I’ve selected specific chapters to help orient your learning:

• From Theory to Hypothesis
• Measurement of Psychological Variables
• Reliability & Validity
• Experiment Basics
• Experimental Design
• Survey Research
• Factorial Design

They are from open resource sites such as OER Commons and KPU Pressbooks. Please feel free to explore more learning materials that would help your understanding of experimental psychology.
