Abstract

The article focuses on the research exploring Hugo Munsterberg's collaboration with Paramount Pictures, specifically his "Testing the Mind" film series, which aimed to translate psychological tests into experimental short films. Despite the significant reach of these films in 1916, they have largely been overlooked by historians of psychology and early cinema, partly due to the absence of surviving copies. The research, conducted at Drew University, involves reconstructing these lost psychological tests using original scripts and correspondence, offering new insights into the intersection of psychology and early cinema. This work highlights the potential for further exploration in media archaeology and the history of psychology. [Extracted from the article]
