| Summary: | "In 1946 I was faced with the problem of teaching a course in undergraduate experimental psychology with no available text seeming suitable for background reading. Therefore, I started to bring together certain materials to be mimeographed and issued to the students as a substitute for a text. These materials were revised and expanded from quarter to quarter until the present final draft was written. While I set up the objective of continuous unification of method and content, I must add quickly that I was unable to attain the objective completely. In mimeographed form the text has been used in a two-quarter course for which Elementary Statistics was a prerequisite, and in a year course where statistics was taught as an integral part of the methodology. I believe that the factual subject matter can be comprehended readily without a statistical knowledge, but a full appreciation of experimental design problems requires some statistical thinking."
