The present study is concerned partly with the relations of incoming and outgoing currents in normal individuals. The question raised is not as to the possibility of any movement at all, but as to the relative accuracy of the movement under the control of different senses. We need, alongside of our elementary study of sensation, a study of the elements of the active side. And since the primary action, the primary volition, consists in bodily movements, that elementary study will devote itself to an analysis of voluntary movements as related to the consciousness that intended them and to the perceptions by which they are governed. Just as we base our conception of sensation on a study of sensations, and our theory of association on a study of associations, so we should base our conception of the will on a study of volitions, and primarily of voluntary movements.
