Five classic psychology experiments

The history of psychology is a rich and fascinating one that has shaped the frame in which we see ourselves and understand the behaviours of others. Check out some of the best-known psychology research experiments ever performed, from Ivan Pavlov’s Classical Conditioning Experiments to Philip Zambardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment.

These five classic experiments still impact the way psychology research is done today.

Get all the latest on psychology. Freud and Jung would approve.

Stanford Prison Experiment is an absolute must, if not for deep interest in behavioural psychology but just because it's incredibly interesting generally!!

What do you make of scientology, then? ;-)
