Olf. ft cies are gratified or countiered; since our tendencies conetitiite that which ia inmost of us; and since they express what is deepest in onr personality, our character, it follows that spontftneous attention haa its roots in the Tery foandation of onr being. The nature of the spontaneous attention in a person reveals his character, or at the least hie fundamental tendencies. It tells us whether the man is a frivolous, commonplace, nai -row-minded person, or broad and deep. The portress spontaneously gives her whole attention to gossip; the painter, to a fine sunset, in which the rustic sees only tlio coming on of night; the geologist, to the stones he sees in his walks, which for the nninitiated have no interest at all. I iet tlie reader look within or around: examples are as easy to find as it is needless to dwell upon them. That a truth so evident, one confronting us everywhere indeed spontaneous attention without bprior affective state wou Jdbe an effect without a cause -that this should not long ago have been a loeug comtnunia in psychology, might well surprise us, had not most psychologists been set in the determination to Btudy only the higher forms of attention, that is, to begin at the end. Now, it is important that we study the primitive form: without it nothing is understood, nothing explained, all is confusion, and ne are withoiit a clue in this study. Hence we shall not hesitate to multiply proofs. A man or animal incapable ex hypothesi of experiencing pleasure or pain, would be incapable of attention. For him there could be only states more intense than other states a very different thing. Hence may not hold, in the same sense Condillac, that if amid a multitude p Bjcholo Blrta wporta Dce of ifii PbTB lOl OgT emaori SeM ental Physiolof loloffl Bche A jialyficn, fdi. i.; uia let BE rbut.
