Science - Psychology / Emotions, Functionalism, Expression of emotions
English term or phrase: adjusted
Taken from an excerpt from Dewey's Theory of Emotions:
"My proposition at this point is that the phenomena referred to the principle of direct nervous discharge (the response to an idiopathic stimulus) are cases of the failure of habitual teleological machinery, through some disturbance in one or more of the adjusted members of the habit."
Adjusted in this sense is often used in the same text:
"Furthermore, upon evolutionary principles, the limited, adjusted, and useful discharge must be a differentiation, selected and perpetuated because of its utility in the struggle for life, out of an original more diffuse and irradiating wave of discharge."

"My proposition, I repeat, is that all such idiopathic discharges, possessing emotional quality, are in reality disturbances, defects, or alienations of the adjusted movements."
