Evidence · no claims cited
Description¶
The article organizes the private-study course under a suggested grouping of twelve topics, from "Problems and Methods of Psychology" through "Mental Development," each keyed to specific chapters of the recommended texts (e.g., Association and Memory draws on Betts, Angell, James, Seashore, Judd, Titchener, Calkins, and Thorndike). The article cautions that "The references do not go into details" and are intended to indicate the general scope of contents, to be supplemented by cross references and supplementary reading. Mental Development is treated via Kirkpatrick's entire book.
