Description
Summary:"From the outside world of light, sound, touch, smell, and taste, of things moving and still, and of people, our senses are constantly bombarded. The senses awaken or stimulate the receiving apparatus of the mind, from which messages flow through the rest of the mind. Imagine the mind as a series of stopover stations through which these messages pass as electrical energies. The author presents a simplified model of the mind. It shows the input of stimulation moving in a straight line from perception, to classification, to emotion, to body control, to the conscious and unconscious, to thinking, to imagination, and to the output of action. The book illustrates the main line stopover stations as we hear and see a fire engine." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
