Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instinct and Experience In the summer of 1910 a symposium on the subject of Instinct and Intelligence was held in London at a joint meeting of the Aristotelian and British Psychological Societies and of the Mind Association. Considerable interest in the discussion was shown both in the room in which we met and beyond its walls. The papers then taken as read, and subsequently published in the "British Journal of Psychology," disclose not a little divergence in the sense in which the terms instinctive and intelligent are used, an underlying divergence in the principles on which the proffered interpretations are based, and indications, more or less clear, of yet deeper-seated differences of philosophical foundation. The questions at issue seem to open out live problems, and problems of wide range. Being under promise to write a short work on some aspect of genetic psychology I thought I might do some service by expanding my own contribution to the symposium, by bringing it into relation with the views expressed by other contributors, by following up the subject in further detail, and especially by giving something like definite form to the doctrine of experience, which has, of late years, been taking shape in my mind, under influences too numerous to admit of detailed citation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Habits and Instincts of Animals Experience, and without a knowledge of the end in view, they are impelled to the performance of certain actions, tending to the well-being of the individual, and the preservation of the species. So far, then, and considered as merely a general definition, or rather description, of instinct, this opinion is perfectly satis factory; but it does not reach all the various bearings of this complicated subject. When we find some animals not only impelled to perform certain necessary func tions in a regular and unvarying manner, one gene ration following another in exactly the same track, and supplying their different wants in precisely the same manner, -but also that many others actually vary in what should seem to be the universal ordination of nature, and, as if in obedience to the deductions of reason, accurately adapting their plans to their circum stances, and their measures to those unexpected changes which accident may have wrought in their situation, with these facts upon record, we feel it is not sur prising that some who have written on the subject have gone a step further. They have, in fact, sought to solve the question, by admitting that, besides the faculty of instinct, animals may, in an inferior degree, also possess that of reason. But this admission brings with it fresh difficulties. If once We allow the least degree of reason to the brute creation, we must concede a portion of it altogether incompatible with their situation. Ive must admit that the bee, for instance, is guided in her wonderful Operations, by an acquaintance with those principles of science, which man has required time and reflection to discover. We must, in short, acknow ledge her both a geometrician and a philosopher and endue her with a perception of causes and effects, in consistent with the other habits and appearances of the creature, absolutely derogatory to the superior nature of man. (2) A much more probable solution of this question, and one far more conformable to the relative positions of man and brute, is afforded by the idea, that animals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instinct and Intelligence The meaning of the term Education is "to draw out what is in a child"; it therefore includes the training of his inherited instinctive disposition or character, as well as the "putting in" needful knowledge, or the "instruction" of his intellectual faculties. Educationists of the present time appear to exaggerate the importance of training the intellect, and are apt to overlook the fact that each individual possesses certain instinctive qualities which to a large extent determine his behaviour throughout life. These qualities, which no human power can eradicate, may, however, be favourably modified by appropriate training.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instinct as Related to Education Fear is strongest in the child at about three or four years of age. This is due in part, perhaps, to the fact that his imagi nation is very active and his judgment immature. The child experiences many fears in the dark, due, no doubt, to the fact that his senses cannot contradict what his imagination con jures up. This does not argue against the instinctive nature of fear. Fear easily tends to become morbid in children. They should be guarded against sudden frights. While fear is one of nature's correctives and has much survival value, when functioning normally, yet it Should never be used as a moral corrective by parents and teachers. Children Should never be frightened into being good. Because of its effectiveness in getting immediate results, it has been used very much in the past, to the hurt of the child. If we should eliminate all fear from the human soul, much of the best in life would be lost. The child should be taught to fear aright. Too much fear leads to timidity and cowardice. A wholesome amount of fear tends to make the child cautious and prudent. In varying degrees, fear 1s a universal instinct in the lower animals as well as in man. One knows how easily a horse is frightened at a sudden noise or strange object. We have all watched the actions of the timorous mouse. Young chickens, without previous experience with such a danger, crouch or run to cover on the appearance of a hawk or other bird of prey.
