Review of: Studies in Development and Learning

Reviews the book, Studies in Development and Learning edited by Edwin A. Kirkpatrick . The author has given us here in brief form, the important conclusions, with tables, curves and enough data to justify the conclusions, of the theses presented for graduation of one of his recent advanced classes. While seventeen titles are given, but fourteen theses are summarized. These are distributed through a number of fields of prime interest to psychologists and teachers of today, including physical tests and measurements, development of auditory and visual memory, development of quickness of perception and movements, of the artistic sense, of penmanship, the curve of learning, fatigue in habit formation, ways of learning visual forms, how children study, musical learning, and a few other topics. The chief service of these studies to education, it may be predicted, will be in their suggestions as to simple and valuable investigations in the closely related fields of experimental pedagogy and practical child study.
