It is clearly essential to the interest of this theory that the thought or rule alluded to by Buhler should not need to be expressed in words, for if it is expressed in words it is immediately capable of being dealt with on the lines with which the behaviourists have familiarized us.
My doubts are only increased by the fact that Buhler at any rate used trained psychologists as his subjects. A trained psychologist is, of course, supposed to have acquired the habit of observation, but he is at least equally likely to have acquired a habit of seeing what his theories require. We may take Buhler's "Uber Gedanken" to illustrate the kind of results arrived at by such methods.
* Henry J. Watt, "Experimentelle Beitrage zu einer Theorie des Denkens," vol. iv pp. 289-436. August Messer, "Experimentell-psychologische Untersuchu gen uber das Denken," vol. iii , pp. 1-224. * Karl Buhler, "Uber Gedanken," vol. ix , pp. 297-365. For my part I am unable to attach as much importance to this work as many psychologists do.
A good summary of such work up to the year agog is contained in Titchener's "Lectures on the Experimental Psychology of the Thought Processes" . Three articles in the "Archiv fur die gesammte Psychologie" by Watt,* Messer and Buhler * contain a great deal of the material amassed by the methods which Titchener calls experimental.
While they were loading the goods sister Backus and myself took a long walk to the residence of John Buhler, aged seventy-five years, who lost a few weeks before one hundred and thirty slaves.
The translations from Hindu, Buddhist, Mohammedan, Confucian, and Zoroastrian literatures, by Max Müller, Rhys Davids, Oldenberg, Fausbôll, Palmer, Darmesteter, Mills, Legge, Buhler, West, Beal, and other able scholars, are invaluable.
