Excerpt from The New Psychology
During the last few years a wide interest has been aroused in the growth of a science of mental life which employs methods hitherto peculiar to the physical sciences. The interest has been followed by misconceptions of the most varied character. Some have supposed the new science to concern itself with experiments on thought-transference and clairvoyance others have regarded it as a presumptuous sub-depart ment of the physiology of the senses and the brain and still others have treated it as merely a materialistic philosophy in one of its aberrations.
Amid such confusion it is no wonder that people ask: What is the new psychology? Is it brain physiology, or spiritualism, or a new kind of meta physics? And the chemist, geologist, or physicist is also inclined to ask: Is it a science at all?
My aim in this book is to Show just what the new psychology is. I have sought to make clear the funda mental ideas oi the science, and have not attempted to cover the whole field of investigation. Salient points and fundamental methods were chosen rather than a multitude of details.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the emerging field of "new psychology," exploring its shift from philosophical introspection to a scientific approach grounded in rigorous observation, experimentation, and measurement. It contrasts the limitations of traditional, subjective self-analysis with the objectivity and precision offered by statistical methods, controlled experiments, and quantitative assessments. Emerging at a time when psychology was transitioning from philosophical speculation to empirical science, the book challenges the historical reliance on introspection as the primary method for understanding the mind. It advocates for a more scientific methodology, employing tools and techniques borrowed from established disciplines like physics and physiology. The author delves into the complexities of human perception, memory, and cognition, dissecting topics such as reaction time, sensory thresholds, and the interplay of physical and mental fatigue. By examining the intricacies of human thought and behaviour through a scientific lens, the book ultimately underscores the potential of the "new psychology" to illuminate the mysteries of the mind and pave the way for a deeper understanding of human nature.
