@dreamofmeFreud ha! too bad this "school of thought" is actually just a pseudoscience bc the unconscious in not measurable

[Margaret F. Washburn @mfwashy]

you can learn all about #motortheory in my new book "Movement and Mental Imagery" #shamelessselfpromotion

[Margaret F. Washburn @mfwashy]

learning is an association of movements into a set of regular series and combinations #motortheory

[Margaret F. Washburn @mfwashy]

the senses create an impression of an object when you are near it. when it's not present, memory recreates the sensation. #motortheory

[Margaret F. Washburn @mfwashy]

consciousness is when motion or a tendency towards movement is partially inhibited by a tendency towards another movement #duh #motortheory

@ur_bf_skinner maybe you shouldn't limit yourself to just experimenting on rats and broaden the spectrum of test animals #justthinking

[Margaret F. Washburn @mfwashy]

check out my book "The Animal Mind" where I talk about the similarity between human thoughts and animal thoughts

@mfwashy @Charles13179906 had some good ideas

[Margaret F. Washburn @mfwashy]

our acquaintance with the mind of animals rests upon the same basis as our acquaintance with the mind of our fellow man #quoteme
