The G. Stanley Hall lecture series. Vol. 1

The five papers that comprise this initial volume in the G. Stanley Hall Lecture Series differ other than in topic of coverage. While they all focus on the most recent literature on introductory courses in psychology, one emphasizes a few trends in considerable detail while another mentions many current investigations. The papers also differ widely in terms of their recommendations for classroom activities and demonstrations; some of the papers give these activities substantial emphasis, yet other papers provide little material of this kind. Still, these papers have much in common, and it is this commonality that is at the heart of the lecture series. These papers are more than mere reviews of the past five years' literature, they are integrative accounts of that literature. Each attempts to place its content area in the context of a survey introductory course, recognizing the limitations of coverage and understanding inherent in such a course.
