Psychology: an elementary text-book

An elementary textbook presents core topics of psychology, linking mental processes to brain and nervous function and surveying experimental methods such as psychophysics and controlled observation. It treats sensation, perception, attention, memory—illustrating memory with systematic experimental findings—association, language, thought, emotion, and volition, and discusses constructive higher functions like religion, art, and morality. Emphasis is placed on physiological correlates, careful empirical evidence, and avoiding speculative fads. Sections include summaries, questions for study, and illustrations to aid students, aiming to provide a concise, balanced introduction to psychological theory, methodology, and applied topics for beginning readers.
