Reviews

The book contains particularly good discussions of the pros and cons of different types of within-subjects designs that are often lacking in more general texts on experimental design. ! The book has a clear relevance to practitioners using behaviour analysis methods in behavioural therapy. ... As well as containing much sound generic advice, and some thought-provoking essays on specific issues, this book also provides a clear introduction to the terminology and approach of modern behaviour analysis. -- Melissa Bateson, Newcastle University, in Animal Welfare A top choice for methodology courses ! I would adopt this text ! [and] enthusiastically recommend it to others teaching advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Highly recommended for aspiring and experienced researchers who wish to understand and apply the conceptual underpinnings ! to the design and analysis of research projects. It is the standard by which all other behavioral research methodology texts must be judged. - R. Wayne Fuqua, Western Michigan University Well written and easy to understand ! appropriate for either advanced undergraduate level or master's level courses in behavioral analysis. A very useful reference for students and professionals. - James P. Whelan, The University of Memphis
