A Brief History of
Modern Psychology
(third edition)
John Wiley & Sons, Inc
by Ludy T. Benjamin, Jr.
, Benjamin Brief History Test Manual 2
Preface
I have written this manual to accompany the third edition of my book, A Brief
History of Modern Psychology (Wiley, 2018). If you are an instructor using the book for
your classes, I hope this will prove to be a valuable aid to you. If you are a student who
has somehow acquired a copy of this manual, I know that you will dispose of it quickly
without reading beyond this point.
The manual is organized in chapters to match the chapters of the book. In each
chapter you will find four kinds of questions: a) constructs that can be used for
definitions or identifications, b) names and matching terms that can be used in
matching questions, c) multiple-choice questions, and d) essay questions. For each
item I have included the page number(s) where the item appears in the book. For the
multiple-choice questions (16-27 per chapter) I have indicated the correct answer by
asterisk (*). In the matching items I have used an asterisk for a different purpose. There
it means that those items should not appear in the same matching question so as not to
create more than one right answer. If this seems confusing, it will not be when you look
at the actual matching items. In a number of cases there are several possible matches for
one individual, e.g., Wilhelm Wundt with voluntarism or apperception or
Völkerpsychologie. Clearly you can use only one of those in a matching question, but I
wanted you to have all the choices.
If you are using my book and this test manual, it would be helpful to me
(especially for future editions) if I could hear from you. I welcome your comments on
, Benjamin Brief History Test Manual 3
the book and how it was received by your students. Pointing out errors or problems is
appreciated. I would like to get it right. I also would be interested in hearing about those
things that you like about the book. In addition, I would like to get feedback on the test
manual, especially about any problems you encountered. If you write your own
questions and would be willing to share them with me, those would be appreciated as
well. I might include them in a subsequent version of this manual (with your permission,
of course). You can write to me at .
Finally, this book is intended to be used with primary source readings in a History
of Psychology course. The book is an intentionally concise history in order that students
might spend the bulk of their course reading in sampling original works by such
important figures as John Locke, Gustav Fechner, Wilhelm Wundt, Hermann
Ebbinghaus, William James, Margaret Washburn, Charles Darwin, Mary Calkins, Ivan
Pavlov, and Sigmund Freud. Many of these primary readings are available online, and in
the final section of this manual I list a number of suggested readings for each chapter,
providing the URLs for those sources.
Best wishes to you in your classes.
Sincerely,
