speculations or hypothetical engrams. This ideal of a healthy
empiricism does not involve a mutually exclusive, dichotomous
choice. It is not a question of armchair psychology versus ex-

whole. There is no longer any basis for the laboratory man's
phobia of the armchair. It might even enhance his efficiency if
he could be induced to accept a change in his official furniture
by consenting to draw up such a chair alongside his laboratory
table.
