Hubbard Judd Charles epub Psychology General Introduction (Classic Reprint)

This revised edition has been very largely rewritten. The emphasis which was laid on motor processes in the volume when it appeared in 1907 has been iqpre than justified by recent developments of behaviorism in psychology. The present edition goes further than did the first in working out the doctrines of functional psychology, especially in so far as these use motor processes in explaining mental organization. The doctrine of attitudes which was presented in the first edition has been much expanded. The applications of psychology have been elaborated, especially through a new chapter on mental hygiene. The view with regard to the importance of consciousness in evolution which was set forth in my paper before the American Psychological Association in 1909 has been adopted as a guiding principle in this volume. In keeping with this view, the chapter on volition has been wholly rewritten, and several earlier sections have been laigely worked over. Perhaps the simplest method of economizing the time of those who are interested merely in the new parts will be to enumerate the chapters which are not greatly modified. These are Chapters I, II, III, V, VIII, IX, X, XI, XIV, and XVII. The remainder of the volume includes liberal revisions. Chapters IV, VI, VII, XII, XV, and XVI are new or very largely so. The book has been freed so far as possible from technical controversial discussions, with the result that some chapters, notably Chapter XIII, have been reduced.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
