This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities end each section.
Excerpt from The Elements of Scientific Psychology In introducing the student to the modern science of psychology, it is necessary to depart definitely from traditional formulae and traditional conceptions in so far as these formulae and conceptions no longer represent the facts with which psychology has to deal. The psychology of today is a science of the conscious responses of the organism, and as such is called upon to furnish materials applicable to the problems of physical science, education, industry and the arts; and to social problems. Psychology is called upon for these contributions, and is responding: but it is only the modern form of psychology which can contribute effectively. No one thinks today of asking aid in any problem of real life from the psychology, however named, which deals with a peculiar world of psychic objects, by the introspective method, or by any of its later substitutes. One turns instead to the scientific psychology whose subject matter is the world of real objects and real activities, and whose methods are those of all science. It is impossible to put this new wine in the old bottles of phrase and viewpoint which sufficed for its predecessor. It is necessary, on the other hand, to conserve a large part of the psychological results of the past centuries. Scientific psychology is no new invention, but is a legitimate development from the older psychology which it cannot avoid supplanting, and as such it embodies the achievements of the psychologists from Aristotle to the present generation. With "new psychologies" and with revolts against the essential facts of psychology, scientific psychology has no affiliation, although it represents real progress, and although its postulates in regard to consciousness differ essentially from those of the past. This book, being designed for the specific purpose of introducing the student to the elements of psychology, and giving him a firm ground on which to build, deals with the general problems of psychology only.

This is Volume XXXII of thirty-eight in a collection on General Psychology. Originally published in 1905, the aim of this book is to help students to learn the general principles of psychology. Those facts which can most profitably be made the subject matter of a course in general psychology are presented with an abundance of concrete illustrations, experiments, exercises and questions, by which the student may secure real rather than verbal conceptions and may test, apply and make permanent his knowledge.
Excerpt from Elements of PsychologyIn the preparation of these notes the author has kept before him self three or four distinct aims. He has felt the need of a brief text book, for the sake of the student, and as inviting to fuller discussion in the class-room than is possible with a larger book.He has borne in mind that the general student will not pursue this study beyond the course compelled by the college curriculum, and has therefore deemed it necessary to state, for such, certain philosophical implications of psychological teaching.He has Wished to encourage independent reading on the part of the student. The references are accordingly made to the general works Within reach of the college student. They are but suggestions. The class-room furnishes abundant opportunity for their amplification.It seems important that the beginner should have some definite center from Which to reach out. And the book therefore aims to make brief statements, in positive form, of the positions that seem to the author justified by the facts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
