Excerpt from A History of the Association PsychologyTms study of the Association Psychology was origi nally projected in 1903. After the first six chapters were substantially completed the work was laid aside for more urgent matters. The material for the remaining chap ters has been gathered from time to time and the whole revised within the past year.The writer is personally quite sympathetic with the Association Psychology. Its defects have always seemed attributable to the imperfect knowledge of mental data and nervous processes in past generations, rather than to the analytic and empirical methods employed by the school. The present study, while essentially historical in character, aims to bring out the general consistency of the Associationist movement and to trace back certain recent developments of psychology to their source in the writings of this school.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
