EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY : AN INTRODUCTION TO VOCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BY ROBERT S. WOODWORTH & HAROLD SCHLOSBERG : 3 VOLUMES SET [HARDCOVER]

Experimental psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behavior through controlled experiments, with the goal of establishing cause-and-effect relationships. It uses empirical research methods, like manipulating variables, to investigate topics such as memory, cognition, sensation, and emotion. Founded by Wilhelm Wundt in 1879, this field forms the foundation of psychological research, and findings from experimental studies are applied in various subfields like social and educational psychology.
