This site is very interesting. It is small, but the tidbits of facts are
fascinating. It is quite intrigueing to find out what event in the history of
psychology may have occurred on your very own birthday. I only spent a short
time at this site, about 15 minutes. Much can be learned about differnet
historical events.

Technical Remarks:

This site is very easy to use, it is self explanitory. Since it is somewhat
small it requires little more than picking a date.

This is a great site. It was an enormous amount of information. Anyone who is
interested in the field of psychology will benefit from acessing this site. I
liked knowing the history behind some of the pyschologists that I have learned
about in the classroom and through the textbooks. This is a place for stdents
and well as teachers.I will add it to my favorites list.

Technical Remarks:

I spent about an hour here, but you could spend so much more time learning about
the history of pyschology. I really like the way the site is broken down into
different time periods. The site is well laid out and very easy to use.I don't
think that anyone would have a problem using this site.

What a find! I found this website to be extremely informative. I spent several
hours exploring this website and am planning to revisit this website on a
regular basis to explore more of its many offerings. The quality of the content
was of a high level and was quite credible. Specifically, I had the
opportunity to explore an in depth article came up on the origins of cognitive
thought by B.F. Skinner.

Technical Remarks:

In my opinion, this website was very user friendly and I had no immediate
problems accessing any of the information that I wished to. The overall
organization and setup of the website was pleasing as well.
