The Scientific Method in Psychology

The idea
The scientific method in psychology runs: observe, form a theory, derive a falsifiable hypothesis, operationalize the variables, collect data, and revise.
In practice
A full worked pass on one question — does testing yourself beat rereading? — from first observation to a revised prediction, each step named as it happens, including the step where the first hypothesis fails.
