The Art of Interrogation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025285535)

"The Art of Interrogation" is a seminal exploration into the mechanics of questioning and its profound impact on education and psychology. Written by E. R. Hamilton, this work delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of mental tests and examinations, offering a rigorous analysis of how information is elicited and assessed. Hamilton examines the structure of questions, the logic behind inquiry, and the psychological principles that govern the interaction between examiner and examinee.

The book addresses the essential role of the interrogation process in identifying cognitive abilities and measuring academic progress. By dissecting the "art" of asking, Hamilton provides educators, psychologists, and students of logic with a framework for creating more effective and fair assessments. He discusses the nuances of wording, the pitfalls of ambiguity, and the importance of clarity in pedagogical settings.

A significant contribution to early 20th-century educational theory, "The Art of Interrogation" remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mental testing and the evolution of instructional techniques. It highlights the importance of precise communication and the cognitive science underlying the exchange of knowledge.
