Psychophysiological Measurement of Covert Behavior - A Guide for the Laboratory

By the 1970s psychology had made advances with its primary emphasis on the study of overt behavior, but its progress on covert behavior was delayed because of the lack of suitable technology. First published in 1979, this title was written to help laboratory researchers in their efforts to develop a mature science of covert behavior.
