Summary:

"The present book attempts to do two things: (1) To bring together in a form usable by the average undergraduate, in the psychological laboratory of the average college, a few examples of the problems and methods used in psychophysics, together with an elementary discussion of their significance; (2) To relate such problems to the elementary statistical procedures, and particularly to such procedures as are commonly used in dealing with problems of experimental education. The book is not intended as an intensive treatise on the derivation of the psychophysical methods. It is organized rather with the hope that it will decrease to some extent at least the fear which the average undergraduate almost universally displays when confronted by anything labelled "arithmetic." It is hoped that the application of the statistical procedures to data which he has himself obtained will help to make the figures significant, their interpretation meaningful"--Preface.
