"This manual contains, for each chapter of the text, (a) a brief note to the instructor, (b) an array of multiple choice test items, (c) a list of essay questions, and (d) a list of readings that can be assigned to eager and/or bright students. The notes to the instructor are intended to give an idea of the author's strategy and tactics in trying to arrange, in each substantive and methodological segment of psychology, a meaningful learning experience for the student. Also these notes point out the topics that are neglected or only skimpily covered in the chapter. The idea and the hope behind these notes is that they may help the instructor articulate his teaching with the text in such a way that both the instructor and his students can derive the greatest satisfaction from the introductory course. Also, it may be true that by writing these little screeds the author is trying to battle a bit against the impersonality of the author-instructor relationship"--Book.

"At a more concrete level, a word here about the sequence of topics in the book is in order. As arranged, the book is intended to proceed from perspectives to methods to specific fields and specific problems -- such as motivation, sensation and learning -- and on to the molar fields of personality, adjusting and social psychology. The author has found this sequence to be pedagogically workable; and it has some logic about it, too. But it is by no means the only feasible sequence. The book can be assigned in other sequences, particularly when the instructor furnishes a bridging context. The nervous system (included here as the last chapter because many instructors nowadays do not want nervous systems in psychology) belongs logically -- and perhaps pedagogically -- in the early stages of the book. If the subject is treated in a course, probably the best place for it is after the two introductory chapters. If it is used there, the neurologically or physiologically inclined instructor will probably want to go further than the book does in bringing neurological material explicitly to bear on such areas as motivation, sensation and learning. It seems to the author that such supplementation will fit meaningfully into the various chapters as they are presently constructed"--Preface.
