There are two significant differences between Thorndike's educational psychology and the previous educational psychology: first, Thorndike's educational psychology is systematically constructed on the basis of a large number of learning experiments and measurement data, while the previous educational psychology is mostly transplanted from general psychology or developmental psychology, lacking the support of experimental research; Secondly, Thorndike's educational psychology constructs an educational psychology system composed of human nature, learning psychology, individual differences and their causes, which is unmatched by previous educational psychology. Thorndike also won the reputation of "the father of educational psychology". Reference textbook P36.
