Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 4: 1909-1910
According to the latter, the crawling of an earthworm, in which the threshold of each succeeding re?ex is lowered by the excitation just preceding its own is a segmental or chain re?ex of this kind. Association or associative memory may be interpreted as a psychical chain re?ex, for as soon as one group of memory images becomes started, either spontaneously or experimentally, it stimulates the next succeeding group so that each 1mage is reproduced in the order of time in which it occurred. This was particularly well marked 1n the synthetic mechanism of several of our cases, in which the reproduced memories appeared in groups in their correct chronological sequence.
