Summary:

"The opening chapters are devoted to a consideration of the two central problems of educational psychology, that part of the science of psychology which is concerned with the growth and development of the individual, especially as this is conditioned by the school. The two major problems of educational psychology are concerned with individual differences and learning. In this text the authors have thought best to eliminate many topics which, although they are of interest and of value to the teacher, are generally treated in an introductory course in psychology"-- Preface.
