This book introduces the reader to the field of psychology through an examination of its elementary mental processes. The author distinguishes between introspection and experimental psychology, describing the role of each in the development of the discipline. The book's experiments focus on the senses, particularly visual sensation. These experiments systematically explore central concepts such as spectral color mixing and the organization of the retina as well as more complex issues of perception, the interaction between our senses, and the subjective nature of experience. The book traces the development of the scientific method within psychology, highlighting the contributions of prominent researchers and contrasting their methods with popular psychology. This book is a valuable resource for students, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the foundations of psychology and how our minds work.
