CAUSE and EXPERIMENT in Introductory Psychology: An Analysis of R. S. Woodworth's Textbooks.
Winston, Andrew S.
Teaching of Psychology, v15 n2 p79-83 Apr 1988
Considers the origins and development of the textbook view of causality and experiment by examining the various editions of Woodworth's PSYCHOLOGY (1921-1947). Examining the gradual emergence of the experiment-causality relationship, Winston contends that introductory textbooks oversimplify the concept of causality and he explores possible solutions for more meaningful instruction.
