When Biihler published the conclusions which he saw fit to draw from his experimental analysis of the thought-process ( 12), he doubtless realized the storm of opposition which his views must meet.The storm has not yet abated, though it has taken a different turn from that of the first strong gust which issued from Wundt (48,49) in his violent attack on the method which Biihler had used.In this respect, indeed, the cause appears to be making its most consistent progress.It is only necessary to survey the steadily increasing number of theses which have adopted the 'Wiirzburg Method' to be convinced that it has won recognition as a valuable addition to psychological procedure.As Michotte has well pointed out (26), if despite the incomplete character of the observations, one arrives at positive results, these results may be quite as valuable as any others.And at least with respect to the established importance of the 'determining tendencies' and 'tasks,' the method has justified its existence.But the central contention of Biihler still remains an open question, and in America it appears to win adherents but slowly.Indeed, so strongly negative is the outcome of the investigations which have been undertaken in the laboratories of Cornell and Clark, where a large part of the recent work on this problem has been done, that it has seemed worth while, perhaps, for one who sympathizes with the 'imageless contents' to present a brief review and critique of some of the results thus far obtained.By way of introduction, I may say a few words regarding the question of historical priority in this field.The credit which has 183
