| Summary: | "This book is intended to serve as a laboratory manual for introductory courses in educational psychology. The exercises and experiments are presented in untechnical terms so that the student, as Professor Woodworth remarks, "can then be set to observing for himself, instead of depending on books. Many of the facts of psychology are so accessible at least in a rough form, as to make the subject a good one for appealing to the spirit of independence in the student. Some teachers are, in fact, accustomed to introduce each part of the subject by exercises, introspective or other, designed to bring the salient facts home to the student in a direct way, before he has become inoculated with the doctrine of the authorities. 'The essential point is that the student be led to observe his own experience, to record his observation accurately--in a word, to psychologize; and to make the observation before, not after, discovering from book or from lecture what answers are expected to these questions. Individual experiments should so far as possible be performed in like manner before the class discussion of typical results. In all cases the results of these introspections should be recorded in writing, representative records should be read and commented on in class; and the discussion based on them should form the starting point for textbook study and for lecture'"--Preface.
