Mook (emeritus psychology, U. of Virginia) selected the 58 experiments he describes based on a number of criteria: they were conducted not later than 1980, students and instructors should have run across mention of them in introductory texts, they should not be to technical to be described clearly and briefly, and they should not be too similar to another one described. He begins by discussing experiments in general and the history of experimental psychology. The experiments are arranged topically: psychobiology, motivation and emotion, learning, memory, cognition, perception, and social psychology.
