ABSTRACT
In the preceding chapters we have pointed out certain phases of the genesis and integration of activities, particularly as they occur in the higher levels of adjustment. Attention has been directed to the manner in which the simpler serve as a basis upon which the more complex adjustments are built up. It is obvious that besides cumulative or additive tendencies, there are others that are desistent or inhibitory. The harmonizing factors in the organization of the responses of organisms depend quite as much upon the influence of these latter as upon that of the former mechanisms.
