Stran 173 - bird; in the structure of the beetle which dives through the water; in the plumed seed which is wafted by the gentlest breeze; in short, we see beautiful adaptations everywhere and in every part of the organic world." " Again it may be asked how is it that varieties which I
Stran 173 - incipient species become ultimately converted into good and distinct species, which in most cases obviously differ from each other far more than do the varieties of the same species? How do those groups of species which constitute what are called distinct genera and which differ from each other more than do
Stran 9 - The time seems to have come when psychology must discard all reference to consciousness; when it need no longer delude itself into thinking that it is making mental states the object of observation. We have become so enmeshed in speculative questions concerning the elements of mind, the nature of conscious content (eg, imageless thought, attitudes, and Bewusstseinslage, etc.),
Stran 173 - those exquisite adaptations of one part of the organism to another part, and to the conditions of life and of one organic being to another being, been perfected? We see these beautiful co-adaptations most plainly in the woodpecker and
Stran 11 - leads us to the point where argument should be made constructive. It is possible to write a psychology, to define it as Pillsbury does (as the " science of behavior "), and never go back upon the definition : never to use the terms consciousness, mental states, mind, content, will, imagery, and the like. It can be done
Stran 173 - the mere existence of individual variability and of some wellmarked varieties, though necessary as the foundation for the work, helps us but little in understanding how species arise in nature. How have all those exquisite adaptations of one part of the
Stran 12 - These adjustments may be very adequate or they may be so inadequate that the organism barely maintains its existence ; secondly, certain stimuli lead the organisms to make the responses. In a system of psychology completely worked out, given the responses the stimuli can be predicted; given the stimuli the responses can be predicted.
Stran 14 - A psychology of interest to all scientific men would take as its starting point, first, the observable fact that organisms, man and animal alike, do adjust themselves to their environment by means of hereditary and habit equipments. These adjustments may be very adequate or they may be so inadequate that the organism barely maintains its existence; secondly,

Stran 8 - Psychology has failed signally during the fifty odd years of its existence as an experimental discipline to make its place in the world as an undisputed natural science. Psychology, as it is generally thought of, has something esoteric in its methods. If you fail to reproduce my findings it is not due to some fault in your apparatus or
