Page 69 - One after another was put in a cloth, their limbs wrapped all round and kept down quite firmly, so that they could not move. There was but little opposition and still less fighting. By way of intensifying the effect they were given a couple of good shakings, the little ones became quiet, and fell into a sound sleep. They did not react to sensory stimuli; their paws were slightly resistive at first and then relaxed. Respiration, from being labored and quick, became quiet, uniform, easy and lowered....
Page 334 - If all the world were apple pie, . And all the sea were ink, And all the trees were bread and cheese, What should we have to drink ?
Page 258 - I should probably have lost all my friends, also, as I felt no affection for any one and was bound by no conventions. As A, I should have been in trouble all the time over everything on account of scruples, doubts, and fears, etc. A and B are a good illustration of the psychological law, which you yourself have cited, that " States of Pleasure are concomitant with an increase, and states of Pain with a decrease of the vital functions.
Page 15 - As modifications of the same method, — the patient or subject is asked to fixate his attention on some object, while at the same time listening to the beats of a metronome; the patient's eyes are then closed, he is to keep very quiet, while the metronome or some other monotonous stimulus is continued. After some time, when...
Page 275 - To have ideas, and yet not be conscious of them, — there seems to be a contradiction in that ; for how can we know that we have them, if we are not conscious of them ? Nevertheless, we may become aware indirectly that we have an idea, although we be not directly cognisant of the same" (Kant, " Anthropology,
Page 268 - In the course of our experiments it appeared that all the phenomena of adaptation which we saw in the salivary glands under physiological conditions, such, for instance, as the introduction of the stimulating substances into the buccal cavity reappeared in exactly the same manner under the influence of psychological conditions — that is to say, when we merely drew the animal's attention to the substances in question.
Page 275 - Innumerable are the sensations and perceptions whereof we are not conscious although we must undoubtedly conclude that we have them, obscure ideas as they may be called (to be found in animals as well as in man). The clear ideas, indeed, are but an infinitely small fraction of these same exposed to consciousness. That only a few spots on the great chart of our minds are illuminated may well fill us with amazement in contemplating this nature of ours.
Page 269 - Any ocular* stimulus, any desired sound, any odor that might be selected, and the stimulation of any part of the skin, either by mechanical means or by the application of heat or cold, have in our hands never failed to stimulate the salivary glands, although they were all of them at one time supposed to be inefficient for such a purpose. This was accomplished by applying these stimuli simultaneously with the action of the salivary glands, this action having been evolved by the giving of certain kinds...
Page 247 - A and then, owing, I think, to a lessening of nervous tension, I changed again to B and remained in that state for two or three weeks during which time I was physically well and happy again. At the end of this time, as a result of another realization of the actual situation, A reappeared and was the only personality for some weeks. These changes were due to successive emotional shocks. When you first saw me I was A at my worst. I had no amnesia for the events of the preceding months when, as B, I...
Page 296 - Therefore the whole soul must consist of very small seeds and be inwoven through veins and flesh and sinews; inasmuch as, after it has all withdrawn from the whole body, the exterior contour of the limbs preserves itself entire and not a tittle of the weight is lost. Just in the same way when the flavour of wine is gone or when the delicious aroma of a perfume has been dispersed into the air or when the savour has left some body, yet the thing itself does not therefore look smaller to the eye, nor...
