"Harvard Psychological Studies, Volume 1" by Hugo Münsterberg is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume presents a collection of sixteen experimental investigations conducted at the Harvard Psychological Laboratory, focusing on various aspects of psychology, including perception, memory, aesthetics, and comparative psychology. The work emphasizes the importance of experimental methods in understanding mental processes and seeks to unify different psychological theories through rigorous scientific inquiry. The opening of the study lays the groundwork for understanding the overarching goals and methodological approaches within the Harvard Psychological Laboratory. It discusses the necessity for comprehensive publications that can encapsulate the laboratory's findings, which had been previously scattered. Münsterberg introduces the concept of an "action theory," which aims to synthesize various psychological theories by considering both sensory and motor processes in mental activities. He highlights that although this initial volume predominantly features papers on perception and memory, future volumes are expected to delve deeper into active processes like attention and volition, thereby illustrating the laboratory's commitment to a holistic understanding of psychology.
