Excerpt from Harvard Psychological Studies, Vol. 2 The work to be reported in future in the Harvard Psychological Studies will be work done in this new building, and while the re searches reported in the following pages were completed in the smaller quarters of the old laboratory, it seems natural that this volume, which appears at this new epoch Of our work, should give an account both Of our psychological past and Of the development and purpose Of Emerson Hall. The Harvard Psychological Laboratory was founded in 1891 by Professor William James, who had introduced some experimental features into his psychological lecture courses for some time before the formal Opening Of a regular workshop. Professor James started with two large rooms on the second floor Of Dane Hall, and secured an excellent equipment, especially for the study of the psychology Of the senses. He was assisted by Dr. Herbert Nichols, amd'at once gathered a number Of graduate students for research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Harvard Psychological Studies, Vol. 4 In two previous articlesl upon the negative instruction the main interest was directed toward the effect of such instruction upon the suppression of imagery and the muscles of the vocal organs. The work described in the present article was undertaken in order to obtain an analysis of the process of executing a skillful movement, that is, a movement requiring perfect motor control, under the conditions of positive and negative instruction. The experiments were conducted in the Harvard labors: tory in the spring of 1912 upon five subjects referred to as A, B, C, D, and E. They were all graduate students, with a training in experimental methods. The instrument used was a tracing board similar to the one recommended by Whipple.2 The subject passed the wire attached to the stylus through his coat sleeve, so that it would move freely with his arm and not interfere with its movements. He sat before a table of convenient height with the board directly in front of him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Harvard Psychological Studies, Volume 1: Large Print by Various Authors the other, or from some more distant object to one's own eyes, the eyes may be seen now in one position and now in another, but never in motion." This phenomenon was described by Graefe, [6] who believed it was to be explained in the same way as the illusion which one experiences in a railway coach when another train is moving parallel with the coach in which one sits, in the same direction and at the same speed. The second train, of course, appears motionless. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

ÒBoys are emotionally illiterate and donÕt want intimate friendships.Ó In this empirically grounded challenge to our stereotypes about boys and men, Niobe Way reveals the intense intimacy among teenage boys especially during early and middle adolescence. Boys not only share their deepest secrets and feelings with their closest male friends, they claim that without them they would go Òwacko.Ó Yet as boys become men, they become distrustful, lose these friendships, and feel isolated and alone. Drawing from hundreds of interviews conducted throughout adolescence with black, Latino, white, and Asian American boys, Deep Secrets reveals the ways in which we have been telling ourselves a false story about boys, friendships, and human nature. BoysÕ descriptions of their male friendships sound more like Òsomething out of Love Story than Lord of the Flies.Ó Yet in late adolescence, boys feel they have to Òman upÓ by becoming stoic and independent. Vulnerable emotions and intimate friendships are for girls and gay men. ÒNo homoÓ becomes their mantra. These findings are alarming, given what we know about links between friendships and health, and even longevity. Rather than a Òboy crisis,Ó Way argues that boys are experiencing a Òcrisis of connectionÓ because they live in a culture where human needs and capacities are given a sex (female) and a sexuality (gay), and thus discouraged for those who are neither. Way argues that the solution lies with exposing the inaccuracies of our gender stereotypes and fostering these critical relationships and fundamental human skills.

Excerpt from The Psychological Review, Vol. 1: Series of Monographs Supplements, Vol IV, No I, Whole No. 17, January 1903, Harvard Psychological Studies; Containing Sixteen Experimental Investigations From the Harvard Physchological Laboratory This first volume does not give account of all sides of our laboratory work. An essential part Of the investigations every year has been the study Of the active processes, such as atten tion, apperception, and volition. During the last year several papers from these fields have been completed, but we were unable to include them in this volume on account of the space limits; they are kept back for the second volume, in which accordingly the essays on the active functions will prevail, as those on perception, memory, and feeling prevail in this volume. It is thus Clear that we aim to extend our experimental work over the whole field Of psychology and to avoid one-sideness. Nevertheless there is no absence of unity in our work; it is not scattered work as might appear at a first glance; for while the choice of subjects is always made with relation to the special interests of the students, there Is after all one central interest which unifies the work and has influenced the development of the whole laboratory during the years Of my direction.

Harvard Psychological Studies, Volume 1, represents a pioneering foray into the multifaceted field of early American psychology. Assembled by a distinguished group of early 20th-century psychologists, this collection showcases a breadth of literary styles from empirical studies to theoretical essays, reflecting the burgeoning interest in experimental and applied psychology of the time. The anthology captures the era's intellectual zeitgeist, grappling with foundational questions of human behavior, cognition, and emotion. Through a diverse array of investigations, ranging from sensory perception to animal psychology, the volume embodies the dynamic and interdisciplinary nature of psychology as it began to establish itself as a scientific discipline. The contributing authors, Hugo Münsterberg, Edwin B. Holt, Harvey A. Peterson, Robert Macdougall, and Robert M. Yerkes, alongside Gurry E. Huggins, were central figures in the early development of American psychology. Their collective work in this volume speaks to the rich interplay of ideas that characterized the period, drawing on and contributing to contemporary understandings of psychological processes. Their backgrounds, spanning experimental psychology, philosophy, and biology, mirrored the cross-disciplinary origins of psychology, providing the anthology with a nuanced exploration of its subjects that resonated with both national and international scholarly debates. For students, scholars, and anyone with a keen interest in the roots of psychology, Harvard Psychological Studies, Volume 1 offers an invaluable glimpse into the early challenges and triumphs of the field. The diversity of approaches and topics not only illuminates the historical path of psychological inquiry but also encourages a deeper appreciation for the complexity and depth of human psychology. This volume stands as a testament to the rich dialogue among some of the fields earliest innovators, offering readers the opportunity to trace the evolution of psychological thought through a pivotal period in its history.
