Summary:

"The heart of this book is an analysis of the mental processes which pupils exhibit in studying particular high-school subjects, but new general material has been incorporated which aims to extend the discussion to all phases of secondary education. The book is new with the exception of some forty pages, which have been reproduced with minor revisions. Much new experimental material has been incorporated, especially with reference to reading. Emphasis has also been laid on the importance of social psychology as a basis for educational psychology. It has become increasingly clear in recent years that any productive theory of education as well as any satisfactory science of human nature will have to be based on a recognition of the fact that social institutions, such as language, number, science, customs, and laws, are far more significant than are individual modes of thought and behavior"-- Preface.
