"This book has been written in recognition of the need for greater emphasis on methodology in the training of students in psychology. Considerable stress is placed on this type of training, and many of our courses are directed toward this primary objective, but the textbooks and references available to us are mainly devoted to a discussion of investigative results, with only an occasional explanation of methods. These results, the facts and principles of psychology, are always to be tempered and interpreted in terms of the methods used. Actually we spend many hours talking to our students about methodology, but very little time is devoted to writing about this subject for a broader audience. We hope in this volume to bridge the gap between other textbooks and the objectives of several of our academic courses. Our introduction to the methods of psychology applies this principle especially to the second course, which is usually called experimental psychology but which is supposed to serve as a methodological introduction to a large number of more advanced courses. To the extent that methodology is stressed in the first course or in more advanced and specialized courses, our book will help to fill a gap among the available textbooks. It is, then, a book of rather wide application, and it may serve also to introduce a new undergraduate course on methodology into our curricula"--Preface.
