Physiological psychology inc1udes aH studies concerned with physiologic correlates of behavior. So wide a scope makes a reviewer painfully aware of how much he must omit. I have chosen those areas in which there seems to me most progress, or most controversy, or both. Sensory processes are dealt with in their respective chapters. The principal emphasis is on the role of the CNS2 in behavior, a choice reflecting the reviewer's preoccupation. Yet, neural (or hormonal) factors are merely specified as so many constraints which the physiology of the organism places upon its behavior. Such limited view contrasts with that of a distinguished neurophysiologist, Eccles (39), who has summarized recent oscillographic studies of the nervous system under the title, The Neurophysiologic Basis oj the Mind.To the reviewer the absence of any convincing physiological correlate of learning is the greatest gap in physiological psychology. Apparently, the best we can do with learning is to prevent it from occurring, by intercurrent cere bral stimulation through implanted electrodes (101, 120), by cerebral abla tion (80,117,127), or by depriving otherwise intact organisms, early in life, of normal sensory influx (60, 92). Accordingly, we shaH leave work on higher functions to the end and begin with neural and hormonal regulations of hunger, thirst, sex, and emotional behavior, then turn to the effect of electro shock convulsions, and conclude with recent work on cerebral lesions and ablations.BIOLOGY OF "DRIVES" AND "MOTIVES": HUNGER AND THIRST Complexity and simplicity are relative affairs. To the learning theorist, eating and drinking are &imple activities leading to primary need reduction. To the physiological psychologist, phenomena of eating and drinking are problems. What tells the animal when to start, and, more importantly, when to stop with his eating or drinking? And howdo animals manage to shift their preference to those substances in which they are deficient?
