Opis

An Introduction to MATLAB for Behavioral Researchers is a hands-on guide that shows psychology students how to use MATLAB for analyzing experimental data. Assuming no previous programming knowledge and Written in a conversational and non-intimidating style, the author walks students step-by-step through essential processes for completing a first research paper or project. The book begins with a brief introduction to MATLAB, and moves on to teaching the reader how to import data into MATLAB, how to find the mean accuracy or response time for different conditions within their experimental data, how to plot the data as presentation-ready figures, how to do simple statistics on the data, as well as how to 'think like a programmer.' This book seeks to make MATLAB a viable option many behavioral researchers who previously thought it too complex for their use.
