And one who believes that the work in the factory ought to be studied with reference to the smallest possible expenditure of psychical impulses is not convinced that the same experimental methods will be necessary for the functions of eating and drinking and love-making, as has been suggested. And if it is true that difficulties and discomforts are to be feared during the transition period, they should be more than outweighed by the splendid betterments to be hoped for. We must not...
88 ページ - Not only are the activities of these complexes, that give rise to expression, conditioned by the brain paths which nature designed as the highways for her nervous currents; but, also, by those byways which much traffic has developed into highways. Could we make blue prints of these courses our charts would show some strikingly characteristic differences. And we should be thoroughly prepared to believe that the conduct of consciousness in general is obliged to adapt itself to the conditions of its...
88 ページ - Moving figures come from the right and from the left toward and across the track, and are embedded in a stream of men and vehicles which moves parallel to the track.

88 ページ - We ask how we can find the men whose mental qualities make them best fitted for the work which they have to do; secondly, under what psychological conditions we can secure the greatest and most satisfactory output of work from every man; and finally, how we can produce most completely the influences on human minds which are desired in the interest of business.
112 ページ - Two months after the removal of the "brain," during the last four weeks of which period no training was given, the habit had completely disappeared from worm No. 2, the subject to whose responses this paper is devoted, and in its place there appeared a tendency to turn in the opposite direction to that demanded in the training. (10) Systematic training for two weeks resulted in the partial reacquisition of the original directionhabit. The general results which have just been stated are subject to...

113 ページ - It is commonly reported that they have an instinctive liking for mice, and that mice have an instinctive fear of cats. It is supposed that the odor of a mouse will arouse a cat, and that the odor of a cat will frighten a mouse. My experiments tend to show that this belief is not in harmony with the facts.
