Summary:

"The present volume has been written with the intention of introducing the experimental method in psychology and pedagogy to a wider circle of readers. I have, there fore, endeavoured to give a popular presentation of the matter, and thus it follows that only some methods and apparatus can be described. The book lays no claim to completeness in any direction. I have selected what I think necessary for teachers, normal students, and all those interested in the progress of education. In arranging the matter of such a book, three standpoints might be taken:--according to the apparatus, the methods, or the chief divisions of pure psychology. The first would have laid too much stress upon the purely technical side of our subject. The second might have given rise to the notion that a discussion of the methods of psychology was alone intended. I therefore decided to use the third standpoint, to arrange the matter according to the chief divisions of psychology. In the choice of these divisions, in the arrangement and in the terminology I have followed Wundt. I have added here and there to the description of the apparatus and methods, some results of modern research. These are only to be considered as examples. I make no claim to have given in every case the most important results. On the contrary I have, as far as possible, used my own results for purposes of elucidation, because I am most familiar with them and because they are sufficient to exemplify what an experiment may aim at. The other results I have taken out of the two chief sources for psychology and experimental pedagogy--Wundt's Grundzüge der physiologischen Psychologie and Meumann's Vorlesungen zur Einführung in die experimentelle Pëdagogik und Hire psychologischen Grundlagen. I take it for granted that whoever wishes to conduct experiments for himself will refer to these two works. There he will find all the necessary literature, and for that reason I have thought it unnecessary to overload my book with endless references to the literature of the subject. I have held it of the greatest importance to provide sufficient illustrations and diagrams. Thanks to the generous help of many authors, publishers, and scientific institutes, I have been enabled to achieve my end. In every case I have noted my obligation. Illustrations, where the original is not indicated, have been prepared by myself specially for this book"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
