HABIT FORMATION AND FEELING QUALITIES 275 



three stages for me. (1) Perception of card and immediate movement, 

 and these movements are correct, (2) perception of card, hesitation, 

 image of movement (kinaesthetic) and then the movement, (3) percep- 

 tion of card, hesitation, no imagery, followed by searching for the box ; 

 these are either the more central boxes or boxes receiving translated 

 cards." Subject D. Plan II. 7D4P. "Began without recalling the 

 plan, so when I threw clubs to hearts felt a bit uncertain for a moment. 

 Dispelled uncertainty by mentally repeating plan." 14D6P. "Have 

 long since quit repeating plan, but when a card appears I passively 

 repeat the box label. The imagery is auditory and kinaesthetic." 



Unpleasant stimulus. Subject E. IPID. "Look at card to be de- 

 livered and call name of its box-label while searching for it." (This 

 subject works rapidly, energetically, places his hands in the boxes as if 

 measuring while searching for others.) 3D2P. "With card in hand 

 I mentally change the suit, and then if any imagery of box, I follow the 

 cue to the box." 9D4P. Knew I was not moving rapidly but felt 

 that movements were efficient and believed that I could find any box 

 on short notice. I notice that the box^label, 4 of clubs is losing its 

 visual imagery but the movement to wards the club box is functioning, 

 that is I deliver by the kinaesthetic imagery of the movement." Sub- 

 ject F. 2D2P. "I draw a card from the deck, name its place orally. 

 Sometimes the perception of the card brings the name of the translated 

 card and then the place, then again the card may bring the name and 

 visual image of its box-label." 5D3P. "See the card and at once 

 visual imagery of box-label no kinaesthetic imagery of movement." 

 12D5P. "Visual imagery for the labels is fading in some instances." 

 35D10P. "I still repeat spades to diamonds only as they are the cards 

 that still trouble." 



These introspections indicate that " establishing card" con- 

 forms in a schematic way to the so-called constrained association." 

 Here the perception of the card is comparable to the perception 

 of the " key-work," and the box-label with which it should con- 

 nect is comparable to the class of associated objects determined 

 by the key-word. But in this instance there are two degrees 

 of constraint. The first is very slight when card and box-label 

 are alike. Constraint here consists in requiring a definite box 

 rather than any box, e.g., heart, to heart, club to club. The 

 formation of the associations in the first case offered no difficul-
