Zusammenfassung:Reviews 5 publications (1913-1914) which discuss the dynamic school of thought. Titchener considers Behaviorism as logically "irrelevant' to psychology, and questions the factual validity of Watson's generalizations, calling attention to the contributions to applied psychology from introspective sources. Cites W. B. Cannon's study on emotions which gives an anatomical description of the autonomic nervous system to explain the basis of emotions. Benussi has shown that there is a possibility of determining lies in pedagogical and criminalistic fields. Summarizes other experiment-based studies which overlap with psychoanalytical results.
