We cannot therefore say that mental acts contain a cognitive as well as a conative element.

Such being the nature of mental life, the business of psychology is primarily to describe in detail the various forms which attention or conation assumes upon the different levels of that life.

The mental act of sensation which issues in reflex movement is so simple as to defy analysis.

Mental life is indeed practical through and through. It begins in practice and it ends in practice.

Thus the same object may supply a practical perception to one person and a speculative one to another, or the same person may perceive it partly practically and partly speculatively.

But unfortunately Locke treated ideas of reflection as if they were another class of objects of contemplation beside ideas of sensation.
