Excerpt from An Introduction to Child Psychology The child-study movement of two decades ago rendered perhaps its most important service in turning the attention of students of education to the study of children, rather than of theories about children. Many studies were made and much child-study literature was accumulated. Some of these studies were carefully made and are still of value, though much of what was then done is not now regarded as of fundamental importance. In place of this older child Study movement there has since arisen a newer child or genetic psychology, developed along better scientific lines and better directed. It has based its work not only on the study of children themselves, but also on biology, heredity, experimental pedagogy, and the newer studies of behavior as well. This more recent work has made the earlier text books, written from the point of view of the old child study and a limited psychology, out of date. It is an introduction to this newer point of View which has been attempted in the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Child Behavior: A Critical and Experimental Study of Young Children by the Method, of Conditioned Reflexes On the other extreme of the age-limits of childhood we have the child of the pre-school age. Here the term Child Study is generally used whether or no the prob lem attacked is a psychological one. In view of the tremendous development of intellect that occurs in this period and considering the large number of studies of such development that have already been made, it seems logical to use the term Psychology in distinguishing these studies from investigations dealing with physical development, social reactions, and sense functioning, despite the fact that there are necessary correlations which must be considered.

Excerpt from Some Contributions to Child Psychology Some thirty years ago Professor James entered a protest against the extravagant claims then being made on behalf of a new psychology to provide the basis for a new and exact practice of education. The new psychology of that day, sometimes called experimental psychology because of its use of laboratories and instruments and refined methods of measurement, is now old. It has made and is still making its contributions to the science, but it has not revolutionized education, though no doubt the knowledge gained by its laborious analytical methods has to some extent filtered out through the minds of educational theorists, and so to a slight but possibly increasing degree modified educational practice. Today we hear once more of a new psychology. This time it emanates from the consulting-room of the physi cian, not from the laboratory of the scientist. Its work is the outcome of a practical need, the need to give help to those world wayfarers whose burden has proved too heavy, who have failed to adjust themselves to life, who can no longer carry on. To minister to a mind diseased has long been recognized as the hardest part of a physician's task, and it is this that the new psychology with striking success has been endeavouring to do.
