Description:Excerpt from The Journal of Comparative Psychology, Vol. 1: Robert M. Yerkes It has been previously mentioned that a definite adjustment of the body, or posturing, is essential before sensory excitations in an external sense can be effective to produce direct progression in a definite direction and to produce responses to objects. This posturing is a fundamental requirement for the performance of any effective movement, and it appears only when many body parts interact. When posture is produced a number of undirected movements ceased to be performed. When effective movements appear at any time, it is always conclusive that a problem will be solved. Accordingly, it is of interest to investigate effective progression, since it is a movement associated with learning in animals. From the researches of Philippson (22) and of Brown (23), the mechanism for progression is developed during embryonic life, and the rhythmic action of extension and flexion is revealed under appropriate conditions of narcosis and of decerebration. Brown is of the opinion that progression is not, as is usually held, learned in post-embryonic life by "trial and error" and a supposed combination of unit reflexes through repeated efforts of the infant animal; but is developed during the growth of the embryo. Though the fundamental mechanism of progression is evidently inherent, the act of progression does not appear in the albino rat, and in other animals, until some weeks after birth. In the albino rat progression appears usually about the eighteenth or twentieth day, and the effectiveness of progression varies in individual members of a litter. Sometimes effective direct progression to the food appears to be developed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
