Excerpt from The Apperception of the Spoken Sentence: A Study in the Psychology of Language It is evident that a psychophysical examination of the condi tions underlying the perception of symbols must proceed along the lines marked out by an analysis similar to that given above. One of the problems of such an investigation would be the determination of the value of each of these factors in word and sentence perception. This we find to be the point of view of those who have recently approached the study of lan guage from the psychophysical Side. They have consistently held to the problem of perception, and they have treated this problem according to psychophysical methods. This work has, however, been confined almost exclusively to visual per ception, and the majority of monographs that have been pro duced are studies in the psychology of reading.
