Animal Research in Psychology: More than Meets the Eye of the General Psychology Student.

Domjan, Michael; Purdy, Jesse E.

American Psychologist, v50 n7 p496-503 Jul 1995

Examines how the contributions of animal research are presented in eight of the most widely used introductory psychology textbooks. The authors show that, with the exception of principles of conditioning and learning, the contributions of animal research are often not explicitly acknowledged or are obscured to look like they had been obtained with humans.
