Review:

The authors of this handbook get high marks for accomplishing what they set out to do....this handbook is more than just another descriptive dictionary of standard terminology in experimental psychology and statistics. The authors have emphasized terms that have overlapping meanings and synonyms....There are over 1,700 cross-referenced terms, synonyms, and abbreviations as well as hundreds of illustrated examples....this book does exceptionally well in explaining complex terms. It is well worth its price and is certain to be appreciated by its intended audience of students and professionals.
