That, then, is the essential. It may be objected that the animals failed because they did not _attend_ to the process of being put through the movement, that, had they attended to it, they would later themselves have made the movement. It is, however, improbable that out of fifty times an animal should not have attended to what was going on at least two or three times. But if seeing himself do it was on a par with feeling an impulse to and so doing it, even two or three times would suffice to start the habit. And it is even more improbable that an experience should be followed by keen pleasure fifty times and not be attended to with might and main, unless animals attend _only_ to their own impulses and the excitements thereof. But if the latter be true, it simply affirms our view from a more fundamental standpoint.
