Right, but for the wrong reasons.

Comments on M. Domjan and J. E. Purdy's (see record 1995-45383-001) study of the representation of animal experimentation in 8 leading introductory psychology textbooks. While the author objects to the reasoning pursued by Domjan and Purdy, he agrees that there are strong grounds to suggest that animal research should enjoy a far higher profile in introductory psychology textbooks. There should be more discussion of animals in textbooks, but only when relevant to the pedagogical goals of such texts. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
