About This Item

ABOUT THIS BOOK:
These readings consist of 27 abstracts of 24 articles, four of these coming from parts of Clark L Hull's article, "Quantitative Aspects of the Evolution of Concepts." Four abstracts are on the general subject of reaction times and a fifth, "The Accuracy of Timing with a Stop Watch," is very closely related. There are two studies on hunger behavior, one on sensori-motor responses in infants and two on emotional behavior, one of these being Mandel Sherman's study of emotional responses in infants. There are two articles on delayed responses, one on sleep, one on the relative importance of accommodation and convergence in distance perception and one on local signature. Under the general head of learning are found studies on mirror drawing, drives in animal learning, comparison of human beings and rats in maze learning, relation between learning and amount to be learned, multiple-choice method in the study of primates and the studies by Hull mentioned above. In addition there is a study of the correlation between intelligence tests and scholastic success, and a 20-page article on sensory discrimination.(American Psychological Association).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
