"A new method, a natural-science method, has been found; it is the method of psychological experiment." — E.W. Scripture
Edward Wheeler Scripture studied under Wilhelm Wundt and went on to establish an experimental psychology lab at Yale, whose experiments largely comprise the contents of this book. Scripture was important for arguing against the more intuitive "armchair psychology" prevalent at the time in favor of a new more scientific approach. THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY went through numerous editions during Scripture's life, but the first remains scarce.
