Excellent overview

An excellent overview of, as the title says, "classic studies in psychology". Covers experiments in many different areas (conditioning, development, memory, social psychology) and hits the "high notes" in each area: Pavlov's classical conditioning, Watson's "Little Albert" experiment, Piaget's cognitive development, Milgram's obedience experiment, and others. A great resource for instructors and students of experimental psychology.
