Two lectures per week throughout the year. Text-books : Ladd\u2019s Outlines of Physiological Psychology, Scripture's New Psychology. 65 seniors and juniors, 10 graduates.\n2.\tElementary laboratory course. One exercise a week throughout the year. All students work simultaneously at the same exercise, each step being supervised by the instructor before the next is taken. The course is designed to afford a training similar to that of an elementary course in chemistry or physiology. For the section on sight Sanford\u2019s Laboratory Course is used as a text-book. 14 seniors and juniors, 7 graduates.\n3.\tIntermediate laboratory course. A series of 28 weekly exercises in psychological\nmeasurements. The students work in pairs at the exercises in rotation. Each exercise occupies two or three hours. The students learn the methods of measurement and computation and the use of various instruments such as the chronoscope, recording drum, etc. Text-book : Scripture\u2019s Elementary course in psychological measurements, Stud. Yale Psych. Lab., 1896 IV 89-139.\t7 seniors and juniors, 3 graduates.\n4.\tAdvanced laboratory course. Lectures and advanced exercises in the application of\nelementary mathematics in psychological problems. Text-books : Fisher\u2019s Infinitesmal Calculus, Holman\u2019s Precision of Measurements, Weinstein\u2019s Physikalische Maassbe-stimungen (partofVol. I).\t4 graduates.\n5.\tTechnical course. This consists of a series of exercises for those who expect to teach experimental psychology and to manage a laboratory. The instruction covers : the principles involved in making, repairing and caring for apparatus, with practical training in wood and metal work ; the methods of experimental demonstration, with practice in the preparation of lantern slides and the use of lime-light and electric lanterns ; the principles of laboratory economy, etc. The workshop practice is cared for by a special instructor. The student is expected to make several pieces of apparatus involving the use of the screw cutting lathe and the various small tools. He is urged to become sufficiently familiar with apparatus and lantern work to successfully give an illustrated lecture ; practice lectures are held and subjected to criticism. The director gives special attention to fitting the men in this course for college positions. 5 graduates.\n6.\tResearch-work in psychology. Participants in this course are either investigators or assistants. For assistants the object is such a training in accurate introspection, observation, experimenting and the art of research as is desirable for the general psychologist. This work is open to all. Only those who have had sufficient experience are permitted to undertake independent investigations. The result of all investigations belong to the archives of the laboratory. Those who undertake investigations thereby agree to prepare the results for publication, subject to approval, in the Studies from the Yale Psychological Laboratory. 6 graduates (independent investigators).\n7.\tApplied psychology, One hour per week throughout the year. Application of modern psychological principles to educational subjects ; outlines of the psychology of touch, its use in education ; motor abilities, accuracy of movement, fundamental principles of writing and drawing ; sight, color-teaching ; space, form-teaching, drawing,\n104","page":0},{"file":"z0002.txt","language":"en","ocr_en":"Notes.\nJ\u00b05\nmodeling ; attention, concentration and distraction, laws for developing attention ; memory, analysis into its components, experimental study of, develment and training, systems of mnemonics, time of study ; imagination, use, necessity of development and repression ; emotions, will ; action, reflex, automatic, instinctive, voluntary, their training ; education of the blind, the deaf and other defectives ; principles of anthropometry and psychometry applied to study of scholars ; psychological development, beginnings of instruction ; economy in education, greatest results from least efforts, correlation and concentration of instruction.

Professor Wedensky experimented on the cortical motor centers for, the anterior limbs of the dog and the cat with the result that the state of excitation of one center played an important r\u00f4le in the modification produced by stimulation of the symmetrical center.\nThe date of Fechner\u2019s paper should be given on page 6 as 1858 instead of 1758.","page":0},{"file":"z0003.txt","language":"en","ocr_en":"i\n\u00ef-","page":0},{"file":"z0004.txt","language":"en","ocr_en":"\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\n\u2022 v!","page":0},{"file":"z0005.txt","language":"en","ocr_en":"%\n\u2019","page":0}],"identifier":"lit28691","issued":"1898","language":"en","pages":"105","startpages":"105","title":"Studies from the Yale Psychological Laboratory","type":"(JournalVolume)","volume":"6"},"revision":0,"updated":"2022-01-31T15:24:02.109442+00:00"}
