Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Psychological Bulletin, 1913, Vol. 10: Containing the Literature Section of the Psychological Review
The third Chief Characteristic Of our year is to be found in the in creasing confidence in the scientific validity of applied psychology, and in the labors to perfect the procedures in seeking solution for many problems in other sciences and in the art of living. Sometimes thisapplication means only a common-sense use of psychological insight; at other times a direct treatment of particular problems by the psychologist. At the twentieth meeting (1911) of the American Psychological Association, indication of this interest was notably shown in the presidential address, the symposium on psychology and medical education, and the section on educational psychology. The Fifth Congress for Experimental Psychology (berlin, 1912) was Characterized by a Special manifestation of interest in the method and results of the applications of psychology, about one third of the forty papers presented being concerned with this field. This branch of the science was taken by Miinsterberg as the theme for his Ichabod Spencer lectures early in the year. Meunier's (i6) and Stern's (26) views belong no less to this field.
