520 $a"Written specifically for those with no prior programming experience and minimal quantitative training, this accessible text walks behavioral science students and researchers through the process of programming using MATLAB. The book explores examples, terms, and programming needs relevant to those in the behavioral sciences and helps readers perform virtually any computational function in solving their research problems. Principles are illustrated with usable code. Each chapter opens with a list of objectives followed by new commands required to accomplish those goals. These objectives also serve as a reference to help readers easily relocate a section of interest. Sample code and output and chapter problems demonstrate how to write a program and explore a model so readers can see the results obtained using different equations and values. A web site provides solutions to selected problems and the book's program code output and examples so readers can manipulate them as needed. The outputs on the website have color, motion, and sound. Highlights of the new edition include: Updated to reflect changes in the most recent version of MATLAB, including special tricks and new functions. More information on debugging and common errors and more basic problems in the rudiments of MATLAB to help novice users get up and running more quickly. A new chapter on Psychtoolbox, a suite of programs specifically geared to behavioral science research. A new chapter on Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for user-friendly communication. Increased emphasis on pre-allocation of memory, recursion, handles, and linear algebra operators"--$cProvided by publisher.
