Review of Recent experiments in psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, Recent experiments in psychology by Leland Crafts, Theodore C. Schneirla, Elsa E. Robinson, and Ralph W. Gilchrist (1938). This text can perhaps be used with profit as supplementary reading for a class in experimental psychology. The condensation of journal material makes it too difficult for the student in an introductory course while the failure to consider the majority of evidence on any topic reduces its value for those capable of comprehending the content. In the opinion of the reviewer, the presentation of experimental method to the members of elementary courses in psychology demands emphasis upon the techniques of sound research rather than examples of investigation.
