"The general and specific purposes of the present work have been discussed in detail in the general preface to the first volume, to which the reader is referred for a complete exposition of points of view and methods. The third volume, here offered, deals with two groups of problems, to the subject matters of which I have given the names: cerebration and action, respectively. The discussions of these respective subject matters comprise Parts V and VI of the work as a whole. Under the heading of Cerebration, I have considered the laws which relate experience or consciousness with the central nerve processes and structures. The most important of the latter are, of course, those of the cerebral cortex. Under the heading of Action, in Part VI, I have discussed the laws which associate consciousness with factors in the efferent sector of the response arc, including behavior, or the postures and movements of the organism."

"The present work is an exposition of the facts and principles of psychology in accordance with a definite method. This is, in general, the method of psychophysiology. In greater detail, the treatment is based upon an analysis of the process of neuromuscular response, together with the familiar postulate that consciousness is correlated with, but distinct from, the cerebral factor in these physiological operations. The scheme is thus that of traditional "physiological psychology," brought up to date, but I believe that its refinement and modernization may prove to be as important as is its historical core. Small changes in point of view may reveal new aspects of the system of psychology as a whole, enabling one to straighten out some very ancient tangles in a quite satisfactory manner. This volume provides a unified treatment of sensation"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).

The present book is intended to be a systematic treatment of the facts and problems of human motivation. It attempts to answer certain questions which are of the utmost practical importance in human life, but which have not been adequately treated in available psychological texts. Why do people behave and feel as they do? What are the foundations of impulse, desire, emotion, purpose and habit? How can these processes be controlled?
