Experimental Psychology Lecture

This document outlines the key aspects of psychology as a science. It discusses how psychology addresses solvable problems using the scientific method through experimentation, observation, and other empirical methods. It also covers research ethics involving human and animal subjects, as well as issues like fraud and plagiarism. Additionally, it examines tools used in psychological research like observation, measurement, and experimentation. Finally, it briefly discusses the physiological basis of behavior including the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system.
