He brings out important pedagog...

Such a reply would be under...

Excerpt from Founders of Modern PsychologyThis book is an amplification of six lectures given early_ in 1912 at Columbia University to an audience composed of students and a wider public. They were not addressed to experts and were only designed to give those who heard them some general idea of the personality, standpoint, and achievements of each of the men described. The chapters are therefore for the most part light and untechnical. They ca...

Such a class...

Excerpt from The American Journal of Psychology, 1904, Vol. 15 The first question to be faced in a study of time-perception is the question of the "specious present, " for without the consciousness of an extended segment, or period, of past time it would be impossible to perceive either duration or succession.
