Psychological Review Vol 1 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Psychological Review, Vol. 1 In other words, gentlemen, let us allow Our eyes to wander with an aesthetical and ethical, rather than purely scientific, intent over our broad and fair domain, before we settle down, as a well-organized colony, to its minuter exploration and cultivation. The three classes of Inquiries to which reference was just made are the following: (i) What is the relation in which the statistical and experimental investigation of mental phenom ena stands to the total science of psychology, in the larger meaning Of the latter words? (2) What is the relation in which the science Of psychology, thus understood, stands to that interpretation Of the external world and Of human life, in its yet larger and profounder experiences, which we are wont to call philosophy? (3) What is the relation in which the science Of psychology stands to conduct and to the prao tical welfare Of mankind? More briefly expressed: how shall we regard the science Of mental life as related to the methods and conclusions Of the most nearly allied physical sciences, to philosophy, and to human action and character?

Excerpt from The Psychological Review, Vol. 1: 1895-96 Only when such an equation is determined will the foun dation be laid for the mathematical investigation of mental phenomena. For it is doubtful if exact methods can be applied to the study of mental relations, independent of physical phenomena, until the much Simpler problems of Psycho-physics have been solved.relations existing between the intensity, area and time of dermal stimuli, and the resultant sensations and perceptions. We will first, however, treat of dermal sensations with refer ence to the quality of the stimulus. In this way we shall be in a position to appreciate more fully the significance of the efiects of variations of the stimulus in quantity.

Excerpt from The Psychological Review, Vol. 10 Psychological tradition is practically unanimous in distinguishing two fundamentally different conditions under which the perception of motion may occur. The one presupposes a relatively motionless eye, and offers sensory data composed exclusively of the displacement and modification of the retinal image. The other condition is characterized by certain forms of eye movement which are supposed to furnish perceptual data quite independent of all modification of the retinal image. Concerning the exact form of the sensory data which operate under the former circumstances, there is less unanimity. For the purposes of our discussion it is sufficient to recall four main varieties. The most important of them all is generally held to be the simple displacement of the retinal image, when the consequent successive excitation of different local signs is supposed to condition an immediate perception both of the direction and of the extent of motion. This main angular displacement of the retinal image must be distinguished from a secondary angular displacement which was especially emphasized by Hoppe. The latter consists of irregular movements of the retinal image following the accidental variations which occur in the direction or velocity of most perceptible forms of objective motion.

Excerpt from The Psychological Review, 1907, Vol. 14 The other distinctions, between real and ideal, actual and imputed, values show the same desire to remove the equivoca tions inherent in worth predicates. Sometimes we attribute worth to an object when we mean that it deserves to be valued irrespective of its actual valuation by any person or groups of persons. Such value is said to be ideal. Again there are objects of valuation, the existence or non-existence, or the possibility or probability of realization of which, are not inquired into, but which are abstractly valued and said to be ideal values in contrast to the real value of objects where the judgments of existence or possibility are true or grounded judgments. In both cases the real and the ideal values are equally functions of the relation of the object to the subject. The difference lies in the attitude Of the subject, in the different presuppositions of the feeling, in the two cases. Confusion of meaning arises only when these presuppositions are not made exphch.

Excerpt from The Psychological Review, 1914, Vol. 21 Wells also is interested in the question of the extent to which individual differences as we meet them in every-day laboratory experience, may be fundamental, inherent in the original nature of the individual, or may have been produced by special environment and training. His conclusions, In the case of a study of Addition and Cancellation tests, are as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Psychological Review, 1908, Vol. 15 But I hear some naturalist say Well suppose we grant that introspection has an indirect relation to our work, or follow you further and grant that it is the final instrument of service of all scientists, the question we raise IS whether it has any practical value unless you adopt in connection with it the special methods of experiment which have been devised by scientific workers apart from all thought of psychology? And this question leads me to ask you to turn for a moment to enquire as to the nature of this method of experiment, and as to its value.

Excerpt from The Psychological Review, Vol. 9: 1902 The analyses of the psychologist and of the metaphysician reveal to us that the real world in space and time is an orderly system of things given in terms of touch and movement sensa tions. This is the world of matter in motion which the science of mechanics attempts to describe to us. It is quite possible to treat of it intelligently without being either psychologist or metaphysician, for one may confine oneself to certain aspects of it without attempting to discuss certain others. When a physicist loosely describes matter as everything that one can touch, ' and then busies himself with the changes that take place in the world of matter, ignoring all epistemological problems, he confines himself to a definite field of investigation, and the results he Obtains within that field need not be at all vitiated by the fact that he neither raises nor suggests certain other ques tions with which other men busy themselves. Without leaving the plane of the common understanding, he may ask himself whether he is to look upon the material world as through and through a mechanism, or whether he must abandon this concep tion as being unsatisfactory. He has a right to expect that the arguments pro and can will be such as to appeal to men of in telligence who are not devoted adherents of this or that meta physical theory.
