General Psychology in Terms of Behavior
Description:... "In this book an attempt is made to state in terms of behavior the facts and principles of general psychology. Although the field it covers is somewhat more extended than that of most text-books in psychology, the authors have sought to make the book compact as well as systematic. For efficiency of teaching much traditional but unnecessary detail has been omitted. Only such facts of physiology as have important significance in an introductory course are included. Many blind-alley topics, an acquaintance with which has been considered a polite accomplishment in psychology, have been deliberately disregarded. The facts set forth are those which lead the student to a systematic explanation of his own conduct and that of his fellows. The purpose of the book is to describe man's original nature, the way in which this nature is altered by use, and the common modes of individual and social behavior that result"--Preface.
