Abstract

The discussion of the laws which govern the sequence of ideas, resulting from the publications of Kulpe's school, has forced the adherents of associationistic psychology, no less than members of Kulpe's group, to make their concepts more precise and concrete. Thus G. E. Muller in defending associationism has re-introduced and more carefully defined the concept of the directional image in an attempt to explain an ordered sequence of ideas. But the success of such an explanation requires that the concept of directional imagery shall itself be adequately established. Our problem is to carry out a critical examination of this concept.
