Excerpt from Psychological Monographs, Vol. 31: 1922 The present volume consists in large part of a series of rather extended abstracts of longer papers which have accumulated during the after-war conditions of printing. Nine are doctors' theses, most of which arc very much condensed from the original. In nearly every case this condensing has been done by the editor, who, therefore, must assume a secondary share of responsibility for the manner of presentation and the selection of features to be presented. The first three articles deal with the wave-phase localization of sound. Here we are fortunate in having the co-operation of Professor Stewart, Professor of Physics, who has accumulated evidence which tends to support a different theory from that which has been most strongly supported by evidence in the Psychological Laboratory. Neither point of view is yet fully established, but we must be coming near to a solution of the question as to whether wave-phase localization takes place entirely in terms of intensity or through a specific receptor for wave phase. The next eight articles deal primarily with problems in the psychology of music. Dr. Knock has investigated a method of training the voice by the aid of the eye. Dr. Gaw has done the pioneer work in introducing scientific vocational guidance in music in a conservatory of music. Dr. Stanton has studied principles of inheritance of musical talent in well known American musical families. Dr. Merry has developed a technique for studying artistic effects of pitch modulation in speech and Dr. Schoen has made a similar study of great singers, particularly with reference to the attack, sustained intonation, and the vibrato. The two brief articles by Dr. Agnew arc extracts from a monograph which was unfortunately left unfinished by her untimely death through accident. Miss Wickham's paper represents one of the many examples of new measurement of musical capacity which are being developed in the laboratory.
