As a suggestion we recommend that you dive right into the statistics component of this tutorial. If you encounter any problems you can either backtrack or follow the links. The links within each page will lead to more examples of the concept under study and/or to a refresher on the mathematical principles that are required for your current position.
Caveat: The notes on statistics are meant as a supplement to the textbook and lectures. We have not created a self-contained course that will lead you through all the mechanics and subleties of statistics. That function is best served by your textbook and your professor.
Our Textbook of choice.
As a guide for this course we will be using Statistical Methods for Psychology, 3rd edition, by David C. Howell. This book is published by Duxbury Press. The creation of this page has been partially funded by this publisher. We feel that the Howell textbook is among the most developed books for teaching statistics to psychology students.
Further testimonials can be found at the following sites.
How you can help.
This page is now in its infancy. The buzz phrase is "under heavy construction". As such we can only benefit from your feedback. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an expert we will take under consideration all constructive suggestions or criticisms. As a warning, don't be surprised if the physical characteristics of this page changes radically with time.
Who are we?
This project represents the ongoing effort of Steve Joordens and Ken Seergobin. Steve is currently (and hopefully for the foreseeable future) an Assistant Professor of Cognitive and Perceptual Psychology at The University of Toronto, at the Scarborough Campus. The primary motivation for developing this page comes out of Steve's teaching of Introductory Statistics at Scarborough. Ken is a hired hand who in his spare time is a PhD. student of Psychology at the University of Toronto - under the tutelage of the aforementioned Steve Joordens.
