Beschreibung

Edmund Huey (1870-1913) published his seminal work on the psychology of reading in 1908. He invented a device to track reader's eye movements which is described in his book and used this to observe how the brain processes text on a page. This work is considered to be the first ground-breaking study in the process of reading. After earning a PhD in 1899 (his dissertation was on this topic), he later taught psychology and was also a clinical psychologist. There are a handful of b&w illustrations in the book. Contains an index and a bibliography in the rear. Original publisher's maroon cloth covers with gilt spine and cover lettering. There is a previous owner's name stamp on the front free end paper and there is some shelf wear to the edges and spine, else this is a clean, tight book. Early editions of his book are uncommon.; B&W Illustrations; 8vo, 8"- 9" tall; 469 pages. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 21268
