Quote from ‘Questions on William James's Principles of Psychology 1’

Term: 
Habit-taking

Is this classification of “mental states” as feelings and thoughts sufficiently scientific? Is it not better to adopt the logical division not of “mental states” but of mental elements, into feeling-qualities, reactions (volition and experience), and habit-taking?
