My aim in writing this book has been to present in brief outHne and simple form the methods and most important results of experimental psychology. The volume contains the substance of lectures delivered to second and third year classes in the Cornell University, and is designed primarily as a text-book for those who attend my lecture courses. I hope, however, that its sphere of usefulness may extend beyond these limits. The plan of the work is analytic. It sets out from the consideration of the simplest factors in adult mental experience, and endeavours gradually to build up the actual mind from the laws of these simple factors and their groupings. After a general introduction comes a series of four chapters, which deal with the elementary conscious functions. A second series discusses those complex mental processes which are easiest of analysis and lend themselves best to individual treatment. A third series deals in part with still more complicated processes, while in part it pushes the analysis of previous chapters still further. A concluding section surveys the results of the whole enquiry, and indicates the point at which psychology gives place to metaphysics. vi Preface
