[Review of the book Psychology by Experiment

Abstract

Reviews the book, Psychology by Experiment by L. W. Kline and F. L. Kline (see record 2008-08152-000 ). The authors of this book state so clearly the aim and method of their work that one cannot do better than to use their words: "This text is written with the conviction that psychology can best be approached under experimental conditions afforded by a laboratory equipped and set apart for such purposes." The experiments are grouped into chapters in accordance with the generally accepted major problems of the science. The result is that instead of a number of discrete experiments the bearing of each experiment upon the others and upon the general topic is brought out. Procedure is clearly suggested. Discussion of results is shaped by a dozen or more questions bearing on the experiment. An extensive bibliography follows each chapter and a glossary gives the meaning of all technical phrases.
