Excerpt from Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology
The principal objections which, as a matter of course, rise against the possibility of such a treatment are discussed in detail in the text and in part have been made objects of investi gation. I may therefore ask those who are not already convinced a priori of the impossibility of such an attempt to postpone their decision about its practicability.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the inner workings of memory using a novel experimental approach. At the time, the study of higher mental processes was rather limited to physical and physiological responses. By employing a novel material of nonsense syllables, the author attempts to quantify memory and learning. The author posits that memory encompasses not only learning and retention but also association and reproduction and provides a framework to numerically measure them. Several illustrative examples are used to explain the concepts. Through these experiments, the author reveals that the ability to learn is conditioned by forgetting, that the rate of forgetting is consistent for any given content, and that learning follows the law of errors. This book sets a precedent in the quantitative analysis of memory and its intricate relations to other mental processes.
