""An Elementary Laboratory Course in Psychology"" is a book written by Herbert Sidney Langfeld and was published in 1916. The book is designed as a textbook for students who are studying psychology at an elementary level. It is a comprehensive guide that provides a step-by-step approach to conducting experiments in the laboratory. The book covers a wide range of topics, including perception, memory, attention, and learning.The book is divided into several sections, each of which is dedicated to a specific topic. The first section covers the basics of laboratory equipment and techniques, including how to set up experiments and how to record data. The second section covers perception, including topics such as visual and auditory perception, depth perception, and illusions. The third section covers memory, including topics such as recognition and recall. The fourth section covers attention, including topics such as selective attention and divided attention. The fifth section covers learning, including topics such as classical conditioning and operant conditioning.The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for students to understand the concepts and techniques involved in conducting experiments. It also includes numerous examples and illustrations to help students visualize the experiments and understand the results. Overall, ""An Elementary Laboratory Course in Psychology"" is an excellent resource for students who are studying psychology and want to gain practical experience in conducting experiments in the laboratory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

It has been our aim in preparing this manual to describe the experiments in such a manner that students who have had only an introductory course in psychology may be able to perform them without further assistance. With this in mind we have tried to give full and minute descriptions even to the point of explaining what may seem obvious to many. We have also given exact directions in regard to the recording of results, even to the extent of supplying models for the tables when necessary, for we consider that training in the systematic arrangement of results is one of the purposes of an experimental course. The selection of the experiments has been conditioned by the following practical and theoretical requirements: .1. It should be possible to perform all the experiments in a halfcourse of five hours a week. 2. It should be possible to perform the experiments with very simple and inexpensive instnunents. In most instances when complicated instruments have been employed an additional experiment with simple apparatus has been described. Two or three experiments, owing to their importance, have been included which demand special instruments. These experiments have been starred. 3. It is necessary in most institutions that the experiments be performed by the entire class in one room. It is obvious, therefore, that some experiments in audition, vision, etc., had to be omitted. 4. The experiments should not be too difficult for students beginning psychology. In fact it is hoped that the book may prove useful not only for class work, but for private students who desire an introductory knowledge of experimental psychology.
