ABSTRACT

Some years before the publication of "The Unconscious" (1914) by Morton Prince, I had occasion to attend, very sedulously, a certain seminar at one of our large universities, at the conference table of which Memory and the Association of Ideas was the topic of study. We gave due credit to Ebbinghaus and ran the gamut of his nonsense syllables and paid our respects to all the great authors who have dealt with the subject of How We Think, albeit most of them have agitated it at a distance, as it were, with a ten-foot pole.
