Excerpt from An Analysis of the Action Consciousness, Based on the Simple Reaction: Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Thus far, then, we have noted four uses to which the Re action Experiment has been put; (1) in astronomy, the personal equation; (2) in physiology, measurement of the rapidity of nerve currents; (3) method of finding rapidity of thought; and (4) a way of studying consciousness. The last two have significance for psychology, and it is plain that Astronomy and Physiology have offered Psychology a most fruitful method for the study of mental processes.
But throughout the history Of the Reaction Experiment, as used by psychologists, until comparatively recently, the main interest has always been the temporal measurement of conscious processes. Great tables of reaction times have been made; the effects of practice, fatigue, warning signals, strength of stimulus, etc., were worked out at great length, and their effects on the reaction times noted. Great elabora tion in technique was made, but small advance in introspective data, as to the constituents of the action consciousness itself. Introspection was used mainly as a check upon the experi ment, - telling the direction and degree of attention, etc.

An Analysis of the Action Consciousness, Based on the Simple Reaction
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the action consciousness based on the simple reaction thesis. Historically, reactions have been used to measure perception and thought with an emphasis on the temporal measurement of ideas. The author argues that the reaction is a case of action, implying both external and internal excitation, and consciousness as a condition. By analyzing the simple reaction, one can better understand voluntary action in general. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the simple reaction, factoring it into preparation, reception of the stimulus, movement, and after effects. The book concludes that the preparation period is of the utmost importance, involving numerous strain sensations and tension of muscles, which are largely transferred to the eye and ear, head and neck, indicating a shift in attention. The muscular predisposition and mental image play off each other, with the business of attention being to create and hold this image to most easily identify the stimulus. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332351190_0
