Paradigm (psychology)
As an experimental paradigm or abbreviated paradigm , a frequently used experimental setup for the investigation of a certain state of affairs is referred to in psychology .
A paradigm produces a typical experimental effect. The change in the experiment, for example by varying the stimuli presented, is used to consider possible deviations from the typical effect. In this way, properties of a certain perceptual or behavioral process can be examined. The task of a paradigm is usually easy to understand. Typical measures taken in psychological paradigms are memory performance, error rate or reaction time.
