Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Attention and Interest: A Study in Psychology and Education
The present essay on the psychology of attention and interest is an attempt to clarify and arrange the many facts that have been brought to light by numerous experiments in the psycho logical laboratories. I have felt myself bound, not to uphold any special theory or school, but to present the facts as they seem to be. The exposition of the sub J ect under the categories, 'description, ' 'illustration, ' 'development, ' 'ex planation, ' and 'definition, is in line with the more modern and scientific presentation as seen in books on physiology, embryology, zoology, medicine, etc. Some may differ with me as re gards the exact demarcation of the different aspects of the sub J ect. The facts, however, are not changed because of any scheme of presenta tion. My chief obligations are to J. M. Baldwin, J. Mckeen Cattell, E. L. Thorndike, E. B. Tichener, F. J. E. Woodbridge, and other ex ponents o f the scientific attitude towards facts and the presentation of facts.
