Publisher's Synopsis
Psychologic Foundations of Education: An Attempt to Show the Genesis of the Higher Faculties of the Mind (1902) is a book written by William Torrey Harris. The book explores the psychological basis of education, attempting to explain how the mind develops higher faculties. It examines the role of perception, attention, memory, imagination, and reasoning in the learning process. The author also delves into the concept of consciousness and its relationship to education. Harris argues that education should be based on a deep understanding of the psychological processes involved in learning, and that educators should strive to cultivate the higher faculties of the mind in their students. This book is a seminal work in the field of educational psychology and remains relevant today as a foundational text for understanding the psychological underpinnings of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
