It Is More Difficult To Designate This

We Cannot Therefore Say That Mental Acts Contain A Cognitive As Well As A Conative Element.

Both Expectations And Memories Are More Than Mere Images Founded On Previous Experience.

Such Being The Nature Of Mental Life, The Business Of Psychology Is Primarily To Describe In Detail The Various Forms Which Attention Or Conation Assumes Upon The Different Levels Of That Life.

But Though Cognition Is Not An Element Of Mental Action, Nor Even In Any Real Sense Of The Word An Aspect Of It, The Distinction Of Cognition And Conation Has If Properly Defined A Definite Value.

An Object Is Not First Imagined Or Thought About And Then Expected Or Willed, But In Being Actively Expected It Is Imagined As Future And In Being Willed It Is Thought.
