99. lappuse - an inherited or innate psycho-physical disposition which determines its possessor to perceive, and pay attention to, objects of a certain class, to experience an emotional excitement of a particular quality upon perceiving such an object, and to act in regard to it in a particular manner, or, at least, to experience an impulse to such action.
43. lappuse - may we interpret an action as the outcome of the exercise of a higher psychical faculty if it can be interpreted as the outcome of the exercise of one which stands lower in the psychical scale.
106. lappuse - with their powerful impulses, and the organism would become incapable of activity of any kind; it would lie inert and motionless like a wonderful clockwork whose mainspring has been removed, or a steamengine whose fires have been drawn.
106. lappuse - whose fires have been drawn. These impulses are the mental forces that maintain and shape all the life of individuals and societies, and in them we are confronted with the central mystery of life and mind and will.
23. lappuse - upon all matters pertaining to the welfare of children and child life among all classes of our people
128. lappuse - struggle for existence. Now the elements and combinations oldest in the muscle history of the race are represented earliest in the individual, and those later follow in order. This is why the heart of youth goes out into play as into nothing else, as if it remembered a lost paradise
122. lappuse - I regard play as the motor habits and spirit of the past of the race, persisting in the present, as rudimentary functions sometimes of and always akin to rudimentary organs.
86. lappuse - the fact that the descendants of both the normal and the feeble-minded mother have been traced and studied in every conceivable environment, and that the respective strains have always been true to type, tends to confirm the belief that heredity has been the determining factor in the formation of their respective characters.
83. lappuse - the main factors in producing scientific ability seem to be density of population, -wealth, opportunity, institutions, and social traditions and ideals. All these may be ultimately due to race, but, given the existing race, the scientific productivity of the nation can be increased in quantity, though not in quality, almost to the extent we wish to increase it.
