Duriiig the last one hundred years, the science of experimental psychology has been accurnulating quantitative information on the behavior and experience of human individuals. Fernberger3. has plotted the steady rise of publications in psychology by difíerent language groups during the period from 1894 to 1945. If we cite the data for publications in the English language alone, we find somewhat lesç than 2,000 titles in the period from 1894-96 and more than 11,OOO titles in the period from 1933-35. The average yearly publication rate from 1926-45 was 3,013. It is evident that a large body of factual information has been obtained by psychologists.
