| Summary: | "An elementary course in experimental psychology is elected by a constantly increasing number of students in our universities and higher schools. This increase is apparently associated both with the increasing popular interest in psychology and with a variety of special local conditions. This manual grew out of our attempts to deal more adequately and at not too great expense with larger numbers of students, and at the same time to give them some appreciation both of general scientific and of specifically psychological method. It makes no pretense of completeness or finality either in form or in content, but is simply a more convenient substitute for the mimeographed sheets of instructions which we have used and gradually modified since 1919. It is published for the sake of readier availability, and in the hope that it may prove useful to others who have similar conditions to meet"--Preface.
