Educational Psychology
A friendly alliance will always exist between the science of psychology and the science of education. Psychology has given to education certain methods and such special results as it has worked out with regard to memory and learning and the nature of behavior; education has taken the psychological material and developed a special branch of science under the name “educational psychology.”
There are two fruitful psychological methods which have been borrowed in this way and put to work for education. These are the statistical method and the experimental method.
