If the acrobatic, athletic, primitive, Dempsey-like Calvin Coolidge has
to be content not to think of consequences it is no great wonder that
we could not get Eliza logically and behavioristically across the ice.

CHAPTER III
DR. McDOUGALL’S X
1. AT THE BECK OF THIRTEEN MASTERS
Dr. William McDougall, once of Oxford and Harvard, now of Duke
University in North Carolina, came to America as one of England’s
leading psychologists. If he is less well known to the public than some
other psychologists, it is because he is less eminently “verbalized”
along the lines of gripping, every-day speech. As an example of his
literary style, as well as of his philosophy, take his definition of
Instinct.
“An inherited or innate psycho-physical disposition which determines
its possessor to perceive, and to pay attention to, objects of a
certain class, to experience an emotional excitement of a particular
quality upon perceiving such an object, and to act in regard to it in
a particular manner, or, at least, to experience an impulse to such
action.”
