An Introduction To Experimental Psychology

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. An Introduction to Experimental Psychology by Charles S. Myers was first published in 1911 and reissued as this third edition in 1914. The volume discusses the typical research themes and methods of observation in experimental psychology at the time of publication.

This is Volume XII of thirty-eight in the General Psychology series. First published in 1937, this study offers an introduction to experimental psychology, covering such areas as perception of our world, primitive behaviour, complex behaviour, colour and sound, memory- learning and remembering and our emotional self.

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.
