ABSTRACT

Jung's 1905 article on the reaction-time ratio in association experiments was published both in the Zeitschrift für Psychologie und Neurologie and separately as his habilitation thesis. In a November 1905 article in the Zentralblatt für Nervenheilkunde und Psychiatrie, Jung accused Max Wertheimer and Julius Klein of inexcusably failing to credit Jung and Riklin for preceding them in proposing the use of associative techniques for the diagnosis of complexes. Wertheimer did not accept Husserl's ideas unequivocally and uncritically. While living in Halle in 1905-1906, Wertheimer wrote a seven-page draft of a letter to "L. Kl.", part of which expresses his disillusionment with Edmund Husserl. The Veddas were a small tribe that inhabited a section of Ceylon. Charles Samuel Myers based his studies on thirty-four Vedda songs while Wertheimer used recordings of four phonograph cylinders that contained about forty songs.
