Description: | The Psychology Collection comprises around 100 objects, mainly 19th and 20th century equipment and apparatus used in Psychology teaching and research in the University. The Psychology Department was one of the first university psychology departments to be established in Britain. As such, the collection comprises material evidence of the history and development of the subject. Some early items such as the 'Taxiphote' (made by Jules Richard, France, c.1901), a form of stereoscope, are developments of the work of prominent St Andrews figures, such as Principal David Brewster, a pioneer in the field of optics. Other pieces of equipment have a particular relationship to St Andrews, being constructed on site by technicians. | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS psychology science | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Contributor: | University of St Andrews | Identifier: | PS:C57 | Language: | en-GB | Relation: | MC:C48 |
