Experimental Psychology of the Thought-Processes

British psychologist Edward Bradford Titchener published Lectures on the Experimental Psychology of the Thought-Processes in November 1909 (New York: Macmillan) based on a series of lectures he delivered at the University of Illinois in March of 1909. Titchener’s interest in the relation between thinking, visual imagery, and kinaesthetic sensation necessitated his use of a new word, “empathy,” an English translation of the German “Einfühlung,” whose meaning he borrows largely from Theodor Lipps.
