Summary:

"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"--Preface.
