Author Description
This is volume II of a two-volume printing issued in 1972. Volume 1 will serve as a textbook in undergraduate and graduate courses dealing with sensory and perceptual problems, while volume II will serve courses in learning, motivation, and memory. In 1938 Robert S. Woodworth brought out the first edition of his Experimental Psychology. In his preface he remarked on the youth and immaturity of experimental psychology in which the student can rather quickly penetrate the zone of unsettled problems in original investigation
