Description

The Student's Guide to Studying Psychology is a comprehensive resource for those new to programming in MATLAB. Written specifically for students and researchers in the behavioral sciences, this accessible text guides readers through the process of programming using MATLAB. With clear explanations and usable code, the book helps readers perform virtually any computational function in solving their research problems.

Each chapter opens with a list of objectives, followed by new commands required to accomplish those goals. Sample code and output, as well as chapter problems, demonstrate how to write a program and explore a model, allowing readers to see the results obtained using different equations and values. A website provides solutions to selected problems and the book's program code output and examples, enabling readers to manipulate them as needed.

The new edition of The Student's Guide to Studying Psychology includes updates to reflect changes in the most recent version of MATLAB, as well as new chapters on Psychtoolbox and Graphical User Interfaces. With increased emphasis on pre-allocation of memory, recursion, handles, and linear algebra operators, this book provides novice users with the skills they need to get up and running quickly.
