Bayesian Cognitive Modeling: A Practical Course by Michael D. Lee and Eric-Jan Wagenmakers is an ideal resource for teaching and self-study in experimental psychology and cognitive science. This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to apply Bayesian modeling, providing short chapters with examples, exercises, and computer code in WinBUGS, JAGS, Matlab, and R. No prior knowledge of statistics is required, and readers are encouraged to apply and adjust Bayesian analyses from the start. The book covers parameter estimation and model selection, followed by detailed case studies from cognitive science. By working through this book, you'll be able to build your own Bayesian models, apply them to your data, and draw your own conclusions. With its practical approach and supportive online resources, this book is perfect for those looking to learn about Bayesian modeling in a hands-on way.
