Here is a short, readable article on the importance of experimental methodology when assessing a scientific claim. The examples are medical, rather than psychological, but may be all the more compelling to students because of the high (but often misplaced) degree of awe which medical research inspires in many. It would be good for methodology courses, in particular, but for many other courses where methodological issues come up. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/30/health/30stud.html?ref=science
