| Research Abstract |
It is an international trend that psychologists have become more interested in the history of the discipline. The present study reviewed development of instrumentation for experimental studies in Japanese psychology. Two years are too brief to complete the project due to the difficulties in collecting the classical installation preserved in the psychology departments in Japan.
Finding some numbers of devices and equipments together with related records, we have successfully disclosed a developmental process of instrumentation in the field of experimental psychology from its beginning (Meiji era) to 1970s. Also, one of the present investigators examined a collection of devices and equipments which are well preserved in Seoul University, Korea, and caught psychological research and education which had been conducted in Keijo University, one of imperial universities, during the pre-war period.
Those findings were displayed partially in the homepage as well as some presentations at scientific meetings, and thus the present work has led related researches.
