I have Woodworth's book in my office. He talks about how lab research has
exploded and states that he skips a few topics because they have been
covered elsewhere (such as individual differences and correlations, social
psychology, child development, abnormal, educational, and applied psych)
and admits to very slim coverage of animal experiments in learning and
problem solving. Even excluding all of that, his book comes in at 880
pages. His chapters are mostly on S&P, but also memory, learning,
cognition, and emotions. I was under the impression (looking at other,
older, text and talking to someone who had taught the course for many years
before retiring) that Sensation and Perception was often covered in
experimental.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any articles or writings on the
history of teaching of experimental psychology, particularly as a
laboratory course, over the course of the past century. I'm
interested in what was covered is such courses, the target enrollment
size, and the "mission" of such courses. Any help would be
appreciated. TIA.
