Quote by Edward Thorndike
There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison there

There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison there is no thinking about things, no putting two and two together there are no ideas – the animal does not think of the box or of the food or of the act he is to perform. – Edward Thorndike
