ABSTRACT

Once a model is accepted, a choice of a course of action can be made. The process of selection was considered in Chapter 7, but now we can focus more clearly on one aspect of it by use of the concepts that have been developed in Part II. I n t u i t i o n suggests possible courses of action that can be evaluated by use of the choice model and the process of t h o u g h t . The model itself is the product of past and present o b s e r v a t i o n s or, more generally, p e r c e p t i o n s . The consequences predicted are evaluated by f e e l i n g . A course of action that is predicted to yield satisfaction is selected.
