PSYCHOLOGY 309 



also the Laboratory of Anthropology under the direction 

 of MANOUVRIER and PAPILLAULT. 



The institutions for research in the city of Paris offer 

 almost unlimited opportunity to the student who is 

 interested in physiological psychology and mental path- 

 ology. Moreover, the French universities, almost with- 

 out exception, and especially the University of Paris 

 and the College de France, are rich in opportunities for 

 the student whose interest is in the social aspects of 

 Psychology, particularly in as far as this subject leads 

 into the study of Ethnography, Anthropology, and 

 Antiquities. Almost every university has its museum or 

 society devoted to one or all of these subjects. 



Other Universities. While the great contributions to 

 Psychology by French scholars have been made in the 

 fields mentioned above, it is not to be inferred that in 

 other regions they are inactive. Noteworthy work has 

 recently been done by R. BOURDON at Rennes, for ex- 

 ample, in the perception of movements. Studies of atten- 

 tion have been made in the laboratory at Montpellier 

 in which the subjects were young children, and in the 

 same university FOUCAULT has lately contributed to 

 certain aspects of the psychology of learning. 



On the whole it can be said that, in the provincial 

 universities outside of Paris, where the great hospitals 

 are lacking, the problems recently under investigation 

 are those of the older laboratory type which, to distin- 

 guish them from questions of abnormal and social psy- 

 chology, may be termed psycho-physical.
