		In analyzing criteria for the attribution of mind to animals, Washburn first considered and then rejected behavioral response to stimulation, presence of approach/avoidance behavior, behavioral adaptation to a goal, and mere variability of behavior.
		In this review, which took up the majority of her book, Washburn successively examined data suggesting the presence/absence of sensory discrimination, spatial perception, visual imagery, the modification of conscious processes by individual experience, and ideas in animals at different levels of the phylogenetic scale.
		This was a view that Washburn never abandoned, even in the later editions of her text and despite the advent of behaviorism.

		It stood surrounded by a large garden, on a tract of land belonging to my mother's maternal grandfather, Michael Floy, which originally extended from 125th to 127th streets and from Fourth to Fifth Avenues.
		This delighted me, for I had expected him to say, "We configurationists have a thoroughly adequate principle of explanation, but unfortunately Miss Washburn is unable to understand it!" Which would have been unanswerable, because, in its latter portion, quite true.
		The behaviorists have stimulated the development of objective methods, while configurationism is reasserting the importance of introspection; and, best of all, pure psychology is enlisting young men of excellent ability and a far sounder general scientific training than that possessed by any but a few of their predecessors.

	Mental Imagery
		However, the most fully developed version of the motor theory of imagery was surely that of Margaret Floy Washburn, a former student of Titchener.
		Washburn (unlike Dunlap) is quite open in acknowledging her intellectual debt to Münsterberg (Washburn, 1932), and in her book Movement and Mental Imagery (Washburn, 1916) she goes into considerable, if speculative, physiological as well as psychological detail.
		It should be said that most of the avowedly Behaviorist theorists and researchers who succeeded Watson (who had given up his academic career by 1920, and published his last significant psychological work in 1930) did not reject talk of inner psychological processes quite as vehemently as he had done.
