A Fantastic Text for Undergraduate Experimental Psychology

I am very pleased to recommend Leavitt's book as an undergraduate text in Experimental Psychology. This text does a great job of covering the main topics in Experimental Psychology as well as providing the framework for scientific development. I was especially pleased by the author's ability to convey the sense of excitement and discovery that research instills while placing a strong emphasis throughout on ethics and objective reasoning.
