Download or read book Interactive Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences written by Pepper Williams and published by Sinauer Associates Incorporated. This book was released on 2004 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interactive Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences is an engaging tour of the topics covered in most behavioral science statistics textbooks: descriptive statistics, the logic of hypothesis testing, t tests, power analysis, confidence intervals, analysis of variance, correlation/regression, and nonparametric inferential statistics. Yet, it employs a radically different pedagogical approach. Without wholly abandoning the tradition of using a printed textbook to supplement classroom or online instruction, this system has at its core an interactive set of components that run through Web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Working through these components, students create their own customized learning experience, rather than passively reading a printed text. The end result is students who can better master and even enjoy a subject that many approach with trepidation.
