Описание: ...Prof. Ladd gives us a digest of psychological investigations in American andContinental laboratories. His abstract is wrought in such a fashion as to make itthoroughly interesting. The arrangement of subjects and use of block-type forheadings is admirable. The book is thoroughly to be recommended toelementary students.It aims at describing and explaining the growth of mental life. Psychology ispresented to us as a study of the experiences and doings of a "subject" or "self."The most familiar everyday experiences are its subject-matter, only they are notordinarily regarded from the point of view of the psychologist. The common, practical, view is objective; here we deal with the subjective side of the sameexperiences. These mental experiences may be termed generally"consciousness," while we who are conscious of them are the self or mind ofwhich they are the mental experiences. Consciousness and attention are thus firstto be considered, and Prof. Ladd's account of the states, or fields, ofconsciousness is particularly lucid. The varying extent, intensity, speed, characterof consciousness in different individuals is one of the most fruitful regions ofpsychology. The physiological conditions of consciousness and attention areemphasized. Sensations are the modifications of consciousness experienced inthe use of the organs of sense. They originate in consciousness, yet areimmediately or ultimately excited from without. The relations of sensation andstimulus, as well as the limitations of the Weber-Fechner Law, are clearly stated.The physiology of feeling is propounded as a surplus of nervous energy in thecerebral centres. Prof. Ladd declares emphatically against the reduction of allfeeling to "pleasure-pain," although these enter into almost all other feelings. Thephysiology of mental images and ideas is carefully stated. While certainproperties of the brain-substance furnish the physical conditions of memory-imagesand images of fancy, there is no literal "copy" of any sense-impression;but there is a tendency on the part of the molecules of this substance to re-act ina similar way whenever they are again similarly excited. The treatment of fusionand association of ideas is concise and lucid....-"The Academy, " Volume 47 1895]
Автор: Ladd George Trumbull Название: Essays on the Higher Education ISBN: 1089110448 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781089110446 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 9140.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The four essays which are now gathered into this volume were originally written for different audiences, and have already been published in different magazines. The paper on "The Development of the American University" was read before the "Round Table" of Boston, and that on "The Place of the Fitting-School in American Education" before the New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools. A request from the editors of the "Andover Review" to reply to the presentation, made by a friend and colleague, of another system of higher education than that of which I was the chosen advocate, led to the article on "Education, New and Old." The occasion of its production, therefore, accounts for the more special and polemical character of the third essay. The address on "The Essentials of a Modern Liberal Education" was delivered before the Association of the Alumni of Western Reserve University at the Commencement of 1895. All four of these essays are here published with very few and unimportant verbal changes.Since the first three of these essays were written at a period of more than ten years ago, they contain many particulars of statement which would need modification if revised in view of later facts, and some particulars of opinion which I should now express in a different way. It is gratifying to find that certain suggestions made in them as to possible remedies for then existing evils and deficiencies have been adopted and more or less successfully carried out. It is also a cause for hope that some of the mists arising from the first thawing of the fields congealed by long continued customs and traditions have begun to clear away; so that a more judicious estimate of the path which lies behind us in educational matters and of the lines of educational progress in the nearer future, can be more easily attained. But he certainly overestimates the assured and thoroughly well proven value of much that is "new" in education, and also underestimates the numerous puzzling problems which remain to be solved, the practical difficulties still to be overcome, who regards the permanent courses of the more popular or of the higher education in this country as by any means clearly marked out.....
