This volume, originally published in 1979, sponsored by the
Psychonomic Society (the North American association of research
psychologists), commemorates the centennial of experimental
psychology as a separate discipline - dated from the opening of
Wilhelm Wundt's laboratory at Leipzig in 1879. Each major research
area is surveyed by distinguished experts, and the chapters treat
historical background and progress, experimental findings and
methods, critical theoretical issues, evaluations of the current
state of the art, future prospects, and even practical and social
relevance of the work. Writing in a lively style suitable for
non-specialists, the authors provide a general introduction to the
history of experimental psychology. Illustrated by many photographs
of leading historical figures, this book blends history with
methodology, findings with theory, and discussion of specific
topics with integrated assessments of what has truly been
accomplished in the first hundred years of experimental psychology.
