When the ideas are actually recalled, mental processes are also involved and the act is a psychophysical one. If we follow James in formu- lating the associative relation in brain terms, we may say that the liability of any special cortical activity, such as x, connected with the thought a;', to arouse any other cortical activity, such as y, connected with the thought y\ is propor- tional to the permeability of the pathway Joining the brain areas involved in the production of x and y, as compar...ed with the permeability of all the other pathways leading from the brain area involved in x to other regions of the cortex. (Figure 58.) ISTow this permeability must be largely a func- tion of previous use; that is to say, pathways which have by repeated employment become deep-cut in the brain tissues will, other things equal, be most pervious. Stated in purely psychological terms, this will mean that the oftener any two ideas have actually been associated with one another, the 2o8 PSYCHOLOGY more chance there will be that if the first one appears in con- sciousnesSj the second one will accompany it.
