Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Learning: An Experimental Investigation of the Economy and Technique of Memory I have gladly consented to the publication of this translation of my "Economy and Technique of Learning," because the monograph will be made accessible to a larger number of readers. Experimental psychology and the most important field where it finds practical application, - that is, experimental pedagogy, - are based upon the product of the combined efforts of students of psychology and pedagogy in the United States and in Germany; it may indeed be said that these sciences have been created by the two nations. So firmly am I convinced of this community of interest and of endeavor that in all of my writing I constantly keep the American reader in mind. Much wider in scope than the "exchange of professors" between these two countries have been this continuous interchange of scientific ideas and this mutual inspiration which have been going on these many years. In both countries, too, there is a deep-rooted conviction that the most important problems of the science of education can be solved only by an appeal to experimental psychology, and by an application of the methods of psychology to the problems of pedagogy. The more then must one deplore the fact that until recently experimental psychology has devised no means by which the pupil's daily tasks of learning in all its various forms may be accomplished more readily.
