The essential tool for undergraduate psychology instruction.

PsychMate® is a library of experiments designed to provide a means for exposing students to classic and current experiments in psychology, as well as to teach students about research methods and data collection. Students participate in real experiments, not simple demonstrations or simulations! PsychMate® enables students to take part in 30 classic and current psychology experiments, and see immediate plots and tables of their own real data. Student data files are submitted automatically* and complete analysis files are provided for each experiment, saving the instructor hours of prep time.

When PsychMate® is coupled with the new Exploring Research Methods in Psychology Using PsychMate textbook, students are equipped with the tools to both examine the core concepts of research methods and apply what they have learned through active participation in experiments.

* Data submission occurs automatically when connected to the Internet or students may use the Student Organizer to run offline and submit at a later time.
