An Introduction To Experimental Psychology Classic Reprint

Excerpt from An Introduction to Experimental Psychology To my friend and former teacher, Dr Sheridan Lea, who has so carefully read through my proofs, I am indebted for numerous suggestions, by the adoption of which the book has materially gained in clearness of exposition. I wish also to thank my former Demonstrator Dr E. 0. Lewis, and Mr G. A. Seligman, b.a., for similar valued advice.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Psychology The text-book, however, is a necessary yet a subsidiary adjunct to the study of any science. It is useful only as it stimulates, directs, verifies and supplements the indi vidual observation of the reader. This book has been written, accordingly, with the constant purpose of leading students to the independent and careful study of their own consciousness. It is highly desirable that such intro spective study should be supplemented by experiments. Performed by the student under direction, and that this experimental introspection should precede, instead of fol lowing, the study of every division of the text. Detailed references are given, at appropriate points, to the two English manuals of experimental psychology. The general reader who may open this volume should be warned against certain technical chapters. He will do well to skim Part I., omitting entirely Chapters VII. And VIII.; and he should especially devote himself to Part II., from which, however, he may drop out Chapters XIII XVIII., and XIX.

Excerpt from General Experimental Psychology If, then, the validity of concepts in a science depends so much on the validity of the operations on which they rest, there ought to be certain well defined rules or cri teria to guide us in our experimental operations. These will be brought out in an examination of the methods of experimentation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Outlines for Experimental Psychology The only justification for the existence of an Outline for Experimental Psychology is to be found in its usefulness. In order to be useful, such a manual should serve several distinct purposes. It should encourage rather than inhibit the enthusiasm of the student who is beginning the study of human nature under controlled conditions; it should assist in giving such a student a general and more or less systematic View of the wide field of psycho logical inquiry; it should constitute a guide rather than an author ity; it should be detailed enough to enable the instructor to give his attention to the student rather than to the implements; with all this, it should allow sufficient freedom to avoid becoming itself the main object of investigation. The outline here presented has seemed to serve these various purposes in my own teaching. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Experimental Psychology In endeavouring to supply this want, I do not attempt to offer a systematic Psychology. On the contrary, I assume that the student is already familiar with the elements of general psychology.1 He may have had the opportunity of attending an introductory course of lectures on the subject which were accompanied by demonstrations, and in that case he will have observed how artificial is the line of cleavage between general and experimental psychology.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Experimental Psychology of Beauty An attempt to give a bald summary of the results of all the experiments would probably have confused the novice, for whom this book is intended. I have thought it better, therefore, to deal in each chapter fairly fully with two or three typical and important series of experiments, grouping a number of supple mentary experimental results about these. I have ventured to include among these a number of my own experiments, most of them hitherto unpublished. I regret that lack of space has prevented me from referring, except very briefly here and there, to musical experiments.
