4.0 out of 5 starsClassic. Well worth the read.
By Marcus N. Morgan on November 21, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A classic that is often sited but often not read because it has been out of print for a long time. Recently reprinted and well worth reading. Some of the information is dated but the logic and exposition are excellent.

5.0 out of 5 starsAN IMPORTANT FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT FOR MODERN BEHAVIORISM
By Steven H Propp TOP 100 REVIEWER on August 19, 2010
Format: Hardcover
Donald Olding Hebb (1904-1985) was a Canadian psychologist who worked in the area of neuropsychology, but is also considered an influential figure within behaviorism.

He writes in the Introduction, "In modern psychology ... (we need) a theory of thought ... to show how 'expectancy' or the like can be a physiologically intelligible process. In the chapters that follow this introduction I have tried to lay a foundation for such a theory... it achieves some synthesis of psychological knowledge, and it attempts to hold as strictly as possible to the psychological evidence in those long stretches where the guidance of anatomy and physiology is lacking."

Here are some representative quotations from the book:

"One cannot logically be a determinist in physics and chemistry and biology, and a mystic in psychology." (Introduction)
"The solution says in short that motor learning at maturity is perceptual learning in the first place. It also says that a true motor learning of infancy is an essential element in the equivalence of adult responses." (Ch. 7)
"(N)eurosis or psychosis is a product neither of experience nor of constitution, but a joint product of both." (Ch. 10)
"(T)he unfortunate fact, however, is that we do not have any very good basis for being sure how children should be brought up, in order to minimize their chances of getting into a state hospital." (Ch. 10)
