description Reviews the book, Educational Psychology by Noel B. Cuff (1936). The point of view from which Cuff writes is that of the unprejudiced observer, and the aim is to present theories, facts, and applications in a clear, straightforward manner, without bias and with as little intrusion of the author's personality as possible. Prominence is given to the Gestalt school, the only alien given full recognition in our Thorndike-dominated educational psychology. But the degree to which Cuff fails to reach a truly creative central position may be measured by his failure to mention the most significant unifying trend in present day experimental psychology-that toward the description of human nature in terms of interrelated patterns of variables.
