Excerpt from Studies in the Psychology of LanguageIf psychological explanations of changes in the meanings of words are to be attempted, it seems almost certain that quantita tive determinations will be useful.

The variety of changes is so great that illustrations can probably be found for a dozen doctr...

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Mental and Social MeasurementsExperience has sufficiently shown that the facts of human nature can be made the material for quantitative science. The direct trans fer of methods originating in the physical sciences or in commercial arithmetic to sciences dealing with the complex and variable facts of human life has, however, resulted in crude and often fallacious meas urements. Moreover, it has bee...

Excerpt from Educational Psychology: Briefer CourseThis volume presents the results of psychological studies of human learning and organizes and interprets them for students' use. It is not a complete summary and criticism of the experimental work on this topic, for such a summary and criticism would be too heterogeneous and too complicated by intricacies of method and argument. On the other hand it is not a dogmatic account of the facts as I ...

Excerpt from Education: A First BookIdeally, a student of education should first know many facts of biology, psychology, soci ology, ethics and the other sciences of man. But he also needs to know something about education in order to make his studies in these sciences theoretically and practically fruitful. So it seems desirable to have some brief, simple, untechnical account of the aims, means, methods and results of education, of the condit...

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Mental and Social MeasurementsI had hoped, consequently, that this book, having played a part in stimulating intelligent quantitative work in the mental and social sciences, would suffer a natural death. It is the case, how ever, that for the great majority of students of psychology, sociology and education, the abstract mathematical treatment, characteristic of the first two books mentioned, is ou...

Excerpt from The Teacher's Word BookIt should be noted further that this is not a spelling list. If it is used as an aid in the construction of spelling lists, the derived forms in s, ies, ly, er, r, est, st, s, ed, d, ing, and n should be inserted. They may offer notable difficulty in spelling even when easily read and understood by derivation.A full account of the methods by which this list was selected, of the reliability of the credits att...

Excerpt from The Principles of TeachingThe book demands of students knowledge of the ele ments of psychology, particularly of dynamic psychology. The references entitled 'preparatory' (or their equivalent) will fulfill this prerequisite. These references are to the author's Elements of Psychology, which is in a sense an introduction to the present volume, but any standard course in psychology which gives due emphasis to the laws of mental conn...

Excerpt from Animal Intelligence: Experimental StudiesIt has seemed best to leave the texts unaltered except for the correction of typographical errors, renumbering of tables and figures, and redrawing the latter. In a few places, where the original text has been found likely to be misunderstood, brief notes have been added. It is hard to resist the impulse to temper the style, especially of the Animal Intelligence, ' with a certain sobriety a...
