The Mind and Its Education - George Herbert Betts

(Perpustakaan Sri Jauhari) #1

  1. When you say that you remember a circumstance that occurred yesterday,
    how do you remember it? That is, do you see in your mind things just as they
    were, and hear again sounds which occurred, or feel again movements which
    you performed? Do you experience once more the emotions you then felt?

  2. What forms of expression most commonly reveal thought; what reveal
    emotions? (i.e., can you tell what a child is thinking about by the expression on
    his face? Can you tell whether he is angry, frightened, sorry, by his face? Is
    speech as necessary in expressing feeling as in expressing thought?)

  3. Try occasionally during the next twenty-four hours to turn quickly about
    mentally and see whether you can observe your thinking, feeling, or willing in
    the very act of taking place.

  4. What becomes of our mind or consciousness while we are asleep? How are
    we able to wake up at a certain hour previously determined? Can a person have
    absolutely nothing in his mind?

  5. Have you noticed any children especially adept in expression? Have you
    noticed any very backward? If so, in what form of expression in each case?

  6. Have you observed any instances of expression which you were at a loss to
    interpret (remember that "expression" includes every form of physical action,
    voice, speech, face, form, hand, etc.)?
