Excerpt from An Introduction to the Psychology of Education The same kind of remark falls to be made with respect to the attitude taken up by some Of the American behaviour ists with regard to all psychologists who refuse to sub scribe to the View that experimental and Objective study Of behaviour - mental testing and the like - is the only basis for a psychology Of education. Again the immense services rendered to psychology by these workers in America is undeniable, but Let rival schools of philosophy fling stones at one another as they choose. Workers in different fields of science can find a better use for their time and energy. In two respects the present work marks some advance in the author's position from that represented in I nstz'nct in Man. On the one hand, the attitude towards behaviourism has become somewhat more sympathetic, though without surrendering what appear to be the key positions. On the other hand, his views regarding the nature of suggestion have become more clearly defined. He is very sensible of the defects of the work, but the life of a teacher of psychology in a British university is at the moment a very busy one, and he might plead this fact as some excuse for the defects, unless they are too grave to be covered by such an excuse. He has at least attempted to work out a general point of view from which it is possible to see the different develop ments of a psychology of education in their mutual relations.
