ganism of its overt or its incipient acts. The order, ac- cording to this theory, is perception, action, emotion.
You see a bear, run away, and are afraid.
(3) Herrick's Summation -Irradiation theory main- tains that emotion is conditioned upon organic tension, pain being due to organic congestion and summation of tendencies to action, and pleasure being due to relatively free discharge or irradiation, after not too prolonged or severe inhibition of these tendencies. It is true to say neither that emotions are caused by movements (peripher- al theory) nor that emotions cause movements (central theory), but that emotion or feeling is action in its inci- pient stage of conscious mediation, just as thinking is action in a later stage of mediation.
