An Introduction to Experimental Psychology

Abstract

IN this little book Dr. Myers gives a very interesting account of modern views in certain parts of the science of experimental psychology. The topics selected for discussion, and forming the headlines of successive chapters, are:—“Touch, Temperature, and Pain,” “Colour Vision,” “The Müller-Lyer Illusion,” “Experimental Æsthetics,” “Memory,” and “Mental Tests and their Uses ”(two chapters). On each of these subjects much important work has been done within quite recent years, and the exceptionally clear way in which the author sums up the latest results and brings out their theoretical importance will make the book of great value to physicians, educationists, and others who are finding a knowledge of the general methods and results of the science an indispensable supplement to their ordinarily-recognised intellectual equipment.
