cedure. The normal human organism functions as a whole al-
ways. Through training it becomes organized in all of its parts
to make a certain adjustment or perform a certain act, be that
act the driving of a nail, flying across the Atlantic Ocean or
multiplying silently one four-place number by another four-
place number. Each of these complex functions has as its con-
stituent parts emotional, instinctive, and explicit and implicit
habit factors. The parts are all tied together and work together
when the individual is performing that function. Our illustra-
tion in the previous chapter of the behavior of the motor-boat
owner in trying to make his engine run properly shows the closely
interlocking, integrated activity of the hands, arms and legs,
involving also instinctive emotional factors and finally language
activity; it is typical of all adjustments.

The present chapter finishes our study of the genesis and func-
tioning of part reactions. In it we have tried to present the data
which will enable the student to put the organism back together
again and view him as an integrated, biological going concern.
This completely integrated organism is a personality or indi-
vidual. The following chapter takes up the individual at work
upon one or another problem.
