520    "This book is the product of nearly thirty years of 
       teaching elementary psychology to undergraduate students. 
       It is not a text written for the eyes of psychologists. It
       is an attempt to furnish the beginning student with an 
       initial orientation in the material of this science. The 
       mastery of this text will not make the reader a 
       'psychologist, ' but it should give the student a general 
       background of psychological point of view and of 
       psychological fact so that he can read or study more 
       adequately, easily and correctly in any of the more 
       advanced special fields of psychology. If this is true, 
       the author will have been successful in everything he has 
       hoped to accomplish. Furthermore the reader should have 
       acquired an acquaintance with the special vocabulary of 
       psychology. Like every other science, psychology has given
       special meaning to some words and has invented other words
       to describe special ideas. Without a knowledge of these 
       special meanings, an intelligent reading of psychology is 
       impossible. In this text there has been an attempt to 
       describe, explain and relate both conscious processes and 
       reactions. The reader will find frequent admonitions for 
       him to do something or other. The word 'you' appears more 
       frequently in this text, perhaps, than in any book you 
       have ever read. After all, consciousness is a purely 
       personal affair and, if you wish to study consciousness, 
       it is only your own consciousness which you can study. 
       Thus, throughout the text, there is an effort, by charts 
       or by the presentation of problems, to set up in your own 
       mind the sort of processes under discussion at the moment.
       This enables you to study each of these processes in your 
       own consciousness and to study your own reactions. If this
       study is conscientiously made you should come out, at the 
       end, with a better knowledge of yourself and of your own 
       abilities and your own defects"--Preface. (PsycINFO
