Sayfa cxli - My theory, on the contrary, is that the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion.
Sayfa 123 - Now the wonderful fact is that the rest between the roles was never much more than for a second of time : and during all this singing the muscles could be seen in vigorous action through the entire length of the abdomen. This feat would be impossible to a professional singer ; and the nearest to it that I have seen was the singing of a wild mocking bird in a grove.
Sayfa 128 - The monkey indicates by his own acts and the manner of delivery that he is conscious of the meaning of the sounds. They wait for and expect an answer, and if they do not receive one they frequently repeat the sounds. They usually look at the person addressed, and do not utter these sounds when alone...
Sayfa iv - Mental association was for her limited to various phases of the dermal sensations and the minor and imperfect senses of taste and smell. Yet, from their fundamental and protean character, the dermal senses are perhaps the only ones on which alone the intellect could have lived. We are thus brought back to Sanford's conclusion, as derived from the study of her writings : " She was eccentric, not defective. She lacked certain data of thought, but not in a very marked way, the power to use what data...
Sayfa 123 - ... was hit upon which set her in good humor again. A strip of stout writing paper, a half inch wide, was pinned down in such a way that its clean cut upper edge pressed against the wires of the wheel, making with its revolution a pleasant, purring sound. It was on the principle, exactly, of the old-time watchman's rattle, and the old toy known as a cricket. This for a while greatly delighted the capricious creature, and she made the wheel almost fly ; at the same time, in unison with the whirr of...
Sayfa 124 - She now, though running about her cage, indulging in little gambols, indicating grace and agility, struck off into a truly beautiful strain of song. It occupied about three minutes, and had in it considerable scope and variety. First, there was a clearly enunciated expression like that of the cooing of a turtle dove, a soft note with a deliberate slowness. This changed into a series of more rapid notes strangely suggesting the not so weird-like, the conchy clamor of the American cuckoo (Coccyzus),...
Sayfa 128 - ... of the sounds. They wait for and expect an answer, and if they do not receive one they frequently repeat the sounds. They usually look at the person addressed, and do not utter these sounds when alone or as a mere pastime, but only at such times as some one is present to hear them, either some person or another monkey. They understand the sounds made by other monkeys of their own kind, and usually respond to them with a like sound. They understand these sounds when imitated by a human being,...
Sayfa xci - ... of acquired characteristics. Thus to my view modification has gone on in the past, as it is going on at the present time, primarily through heredity, in the insect world. I recognize the physical influence of environment; I recognize the effect of the interrelation of organisms ; I recognize, even to a degree that few others do, the psychic influence, especially in higher organisms — the power of mind, will, effort, or the action of the individual as contradistinguished from the action of the...
Sayfa iv - ... even in those areas, where it was most marked, and the question arises as to what sort of occupation the cells in those areas had, which would thus justify their prolonged existence. If they were thrown entirely out of function it is not easy to see how they could last so well for nearly sixty years. In some way then they may have taken a slight part in the cerebral activity, but it was so slight that their specific reactions did not rise into consciousness, for though Laura had some light perception...
Sayfa 124 - bolt upright;" and the manner in which she held this little black stick in both hands up to her mouth, at the precise angle in which a fife is held, although nibbling away, yet singing at the same time, it looked so like a little fifer playing on an ebony fife that laughter was irresistible at the comical sight.
