Chapter 6

ATTENTION

Awakens in answer to an impulse of "spiritual hunger"

Attention cannot be artificially maintained by teacher

_Liberty_ the experimental condition necessary for studying phenomena of attention

Child's perception of an internal development makes the exercise pleasant and induces him to prolong it

External stimuli powerless without an answering internal force

A natural internal force directs psychical formation

New pedagogy provides nourishment for internal needs

Organization of knowledge in the child's mind

Teacher directs, but does not interrupt phenomena of attention

Material offered should correspond to psychical needs
