About the Book

First published in 1924, Instinct, Intelligence and Character provides a lucid and forcible account of the currents of thought in educational psychology, from intelligence tests to psychoanalysis, from character training to the laws of learning. It brings themes such as talk on instincts and habits; laws of heredity; nature of satisfaction and dissatisfaction; the learning process; interests and prejudices; individual differences in intellect; general and special abilities; differences in will and temperament; and the wings of thought. This historical reference work is useful for teachers and students of educational psychology.
