520 |a "The present volume is the result of labor commenced five years ago with the intention of revising my Elements of Scientific Psychology, published in 1922. The result, however, is a book which is in many respects new, although the former text has been freely drawn upon. It seems appropriate therefore to adopt a new name. The omission of the word scientific from the name is significant only of the recognition that it is impossible to distinguish by title between the psychology which proceeds on assumptions and by methods common to it and the physical sciences, and the various popular psychologies and the schools of psychology which revamp ancient beliefs. The older book embodied some revolutionary features, which have, since its publication, become conventional. The rejection of instincts as explanatory principles began shortly after the presentation of my paper, "Are There Any Instincts?" before the American Psychological Association in 1920. The adoption of responses or reactions as the physiological basis of conscious processes was, in the older Elements, a radical step; although the origin and the development of the hypothesis are a subject of dispute. The response hypothesis has now become orthodox, although not always consistently represented. Certain viewpoints of secondary importance which were embodied in the older book have become generally accepted since. Certain others have been ignored, but not invalidated. The new Elements utilizes and, I hope, strengthens the advanced positions established by the first, and includes new advances which, although radical at present, can already be foreseen as becoming conventional in a few years. The incorporation of the treatment of emotion which I suggested in 1933, and the analysis of desires which I have been elaborating during the last twenty years, greatly strengthen the treatment of feeling and affects, and make the whole topic more intelligible. The fundamental revision of the principles of learning, the culmination of work begun in 1928, is perhaps the most significant advance of the new Elements beyond the older book. I have tried to make the presentation as sound as possible on major points, and have sought to expose the points on which our knowledge is defective, or current notions are unfounded, or our procedure is still necessarily by hypothesis"--Create.
