Introduction to Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences

This package provides a tour of the topics covered in most behavioral science statistics textbooks: descriptive statistics, the logic of hypothesis testing, tests, power analysis, confidence intervals, analysis of variance, correlation/regression, and non-parametric 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 perhaps even enjoy a subject that many approach with trepidation.
