Behavioral Research: Statistical Methods

Two weeks before the exam, Maya doesn't need to relearn 14 sessions of content. She needs to retrieve. The exam is mostly *applied*: a scenario, a research question, and 'pick the right test, justify it, name your assumptions, write the report sentence.' If you can run the **decision tree** ('DV scale? IV scale? #groups? independent or paired?') in under 30 seconds, you've won half the paper. The other half is interpretation traps — p-values, confidence intervals, correlation vs causation, effect size vs significance. Memorise the correct phrasings; never give the wrong one. This unit is the *map* — the whole course on one page.
