Brain and Behaviour 4

The fourth volume of Karl Pribram’s Brain and Behaviour reader in the Penguin Modern Psychology series, first published 1969. Its first two parts are given to LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT and open with Freud’s 1891 critical study On Aphasia, followed by Roman Jakobson on a linguistic typology of aphasic impairments (1964), E. H. Lenneberg on speech as a motor skill, and Liberman, Cooper, Shankweiler and Studdert-Kennedy on the perception of the speech code (1967) — which is why a psychology reader sits in a linguistics collection. Later parts cover motivation and emotion, closing with an epilogue drawn from William James (1918), Freud’s 1895 Project for a Scientific Psychology and Bechterev’s 1932 preface to General Principles of Human Reflexology.
