Some Thoughts on the Proverbial Bull...

The development of experimental psychology owed much to the formulations of G. T. Fechner whose Elemente der Psychophysik (1860) marked a clear point of transition in the study of human sensory experience. His concern for the development of psychophysical method gave way to an interest in aesthetics, and in 1876 his substantial treatise entitled Vorschule der Aesthetik (Prolegomenon to Aesthetics) was published. D. E. Berlyne in his interesting review of recent developments in experimental aesthetics suggests that apart from suggesting this area as a field of study, Fechner's contribution was threefold; the introduction of experiments marked by the use of the responses of a representative sample of subjects often using genuine stimulus material, the formulation of a set of principles of psychological content and closely related to the concerns of present-day specialists in motivation theory, and the establishment of some methodological guidelines for use in experimental aesthetics (Berlyne, 1972).
