Outlines Of The History Of Psychology Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Outlines of Psychology Although at first organic sensation continues to play the greatest part, yet such a variety of impressions gradually streams in upon the young consciousness that a more definite contrast between a subjective and an objective pole becomes possible. Just as feelings of pleasure and pain, organic sensation, and the sensation of movement appear in a more energetic form by reason of the greater contrast with the external world, so the influences received from that world are now more definite and stronger. The im pressions of light and sound render possible a discrimination and an acquaintance with the surroundings, which far surpasses in delicacy that produced by mere sensations of touch and movement. The resistance offered by the hard-and-fast world to the movements of the child is much more powerful than that which its movements met with in the soft and fluid surroundings in the maternal organism. Finally, a set of memories and ideas is now formed, which is soon contrasted with sensations and percepts.
