Abstract

(1) TN this “Introduction”, Dr. Wynn Jones deals with the subject-matter of psychology from the purely psychological point of view, that is, independently of philosophical speculation and physiological interpretation, and bases his exposition throughout upon the groundwork of Spearman's well-known principles. Though he by no means neglects the work of other schools of psychological thought, the author consistently and successfully applies these principles in all the chapters of the book, which deal in the main with problems of cognition.
