Nor, as we have seen, do the organic effects cease here. The functional action of three sensory centres is thus called into play. But they are constituent parts of one nervous system. The direct stimulation of each by nerve impulses from eye, motor organs, and beak, gives temporary predominance to certain sensory data which are termed presentative. But the several centres are connected with each other. And thenceforward, in subsequent stages of experience, the direct stimulation of the visual centre indirectly calls into play the other two, so that the presentation through sight evolves re-presentations of the motor group, and of taste. Hence sentience is not sufficient for guidance; there must be _consentience_ involving the presence of several elements. But these elements must not be regarded as separate save in our analysis; they form constituent parts of the coalescent situation as a whole, of which alone the chick is presumably conscious, without analysis of detail. It is just because the chick is a going concern when consciousness comes of age and begins to assume control--just because a wide range of congenital behaviour is part of the organic heritage--that the early stages of the acquisition of experience proceed so rapidly and so smoothly. The animal has not to make and fashion the early conscious situations; it has only to accept them. It has not at first to enforce order on the multiplicity of sensory data raining in upon the conscious centres; it has only to take note of the existing order among them. It has not painfully to learn how to co-ordinate the efferent impulses proceeding to the many muscles concerned in some simple response; it has only to be sensitive to the response as a whole. It has not to select the association of this, that, and the other group of data within a coalescent situation; organic behaviour provides it with predetermined sequences ready made--sequences which have for generations received the emphatic sanction of natural selection. Congenital tendencies which it has inherited but not acquired determine all its earliest behaviour, determine what elements in the sensory complex shall be thrust into conscious prominence, determine in what manner these data shall be associated; determine, in fact, what salient points in the developing situations shall stand out clearly from the rest, and how these salient points shall be grouped and linked by the connecting threads of association and shall coalesce into effective wholes.
