ings, the association is practically total. Yet all these examples fall under the head of persistent association ("by similarity") which, evidently therefore, cannot be narrowed down to include only cases of focalized redintegration.
We may present the results of our discussion in the following summary:
§ B. ASSOCIATION PROPER[1]
A. Preliminary facts.
I. a. Recurrence of objects of consciousness.
b. Physical correlate: —
Stimulation of brain—tracts already stimulated.
II. a. Identity of the subject.
b. No physical correlate.
B. Classes.
I. a. Desistent or External } Association = Association proper.
(No part of the earlier object of consciousness persists.)
1. Total Association.
2. Partial Association.
b. Persistent or Internal } Desistent Association with Persistence.
(Some part of the earlier object of consciousness persists.)
1. Total Association.
(a) Of Assimilation (x1 and y1 belong to the same object.
NOTE. — This may be a case of purely physiological association.
(b) Of Successive Association (x1 and y1 are different things).
2. Partial Association.
The persistence is
(a) Of an object.
(b) Of a group of qualities.
(c) Of a single quality = Focalized Association.
NOTE. — These are cases of (so-called) Association by Similarity.
The observed similarity may be
(1) Of Resemblance.
(2) Of Contrast.
II. a. Involuntary Association.
b. Voluntary Association.
C. Cerebral Correlates.
I. (In general.)
a. Stimulation of a brain-tract (as p), already stimulated with others (q and r) or immediately after them.
