From the Paper:
"The understanding of the history of psychology is not only pertinent to our advancement within the academic and applied areas, but provides us with the framework upon which psychology was established, popularized and became functional. Danziger (1985) discusses the significance of the history and development of experimental practices in the field of psychology within a social framework. In The Origins of the Psychological Experiment as a Social Institution, Danziger presents us with a description of models of psychological experimentation derived from the social structure of science within the relevant time period."
