Publisher's Synopsis
""A History of the Association Psychology"" by Howard C. Warren is a comprehensive account of the development of the associationist school of psychology. The book traces the origins of associationism in the work of philosophers such as John Locke and David Hume, and follows its evolution through the contributions of thinkers such as James Mill, John Stuart Mill, and Alexander Bain. The author explores the principles of associationism, including the laws of contiguity, similarity, and contrast, and examines the impact of associationism on other areas of psychology, such as perception, memory, and learning. The book also discusses the criticisms of associationism, including those from the Gestalt school of psychology. Overall, ""A History of the Association Psychology"" provides a thorough and engaging overview of one of the most influential schools of thought in the history of psychology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
