Question: what do you test for in experimental psychology?

Hmm this is a very good question, but I won’t be able to fit all the things in a short answer. Briefly what I could say is that Experimental Psychologists are testing responses of individuals to stimuli in controlled situations. The most researched areas within EP are Neuroscience (brain activity during various tasks), Cognitive Psychology (memory: how do we recall information?), Sensation and Perception (Vision: how do we see things?) and Behaviour as well as Animal Cognition (mental capacities of non-human species and how evolution impacted other species). As you can see there are various different areas within Experimental psychology. So you can tell we test various things, some of them more interesting than others and some more complicated!
