Abstract

In this response to Donald Dewsbury's article, I address Dewsbury's criticisms of my interpretation of Karl Lashley by, first, disputing Dewsbury's characterization of my historiographic stance. I then go on to address Dewsbury's specific points, particularly regarding Lashley's racism and hereditarianism, which I argue are central to an understanding of the context of his science. I conclude by criticizing Dewsbury's proposed personality theory of Lashley on the grounds that it depoliticizes Lashley by psychologizing him. ยฉ 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The dynamic interactions of the body's response to stress are extremely complex and can best be understood within the context of an information flow diagram. In this paper such a model is developed from the biochemical equations of glycolysis and from relevant hormonal and behavioral relations. In r
