Psych Lab 101

About Psych Lab 101

The perfect companion to any introductory psychology course, Psych Lab 101 contains 31 well-known cognitive and clinical psychology experiments you can try yourself. See how you compare to classic results - figure out how long it takes to mentally scan through groups of objects in the Sternberg scanning paradigm, see if words are recognized faster than letters in a word superiority task, try to spot subtle changes in the change blindness paradigm, and much more!

Also included are 11 visual illusions that can be adjusted in real-time, so you can see how size, speed, orientation, or other factors influence your perception.

Each experiment includes background information with references, history, and a description of methods. In addition, you can try several versions of each experiment to experience an effect with different stimuli, timing, or conditions.
