In the sixth talk James talks about how humans have a native reaction. However the through impressions the native reaction can be changed to an acquired reaction.
“Every acquired reaction is, as a rule, either a complication grafted on a native reaction, or a substitute for a native reaction, which the same object originally tended to provoke. The teacher’s art consists in bringing about the substitution or complication, and success in the art presupposes a sympathetic acquaintance with the reactive tendencies natively there.” (p.20) The reason I like this passage i Just as the native reaction can be changed to a better acquired reaction it can also be changed to a not so good acquired reaction. How can teachers always get the better acquired reaction like he talks about?
