Scientific Perspectives on Pseudoscience and the Paranormal: Readings for General Psychology provides students with engaging articles from psychologists and other scientists who have investigated pseudoscience and paranormal phenomena as they relate to psychology. The text illuminates how scientists think about these phenomena, how they design research studies to investigate such phenomena, and why they are critical of pseudoscientific and paranormal claims. The book begins with an introduction to the topic of pseudoscience and the paranormal. The proceeding chapters are organized to complement fundamental psychology topics, including sensation and perception, learning and memory, social psychology, and more. Students learn various scientific perspectives on particular pseudoscientific and paranormal phenomena.
