Extending sensorimotor associationism to the domain of emotions and will, Bain introduced the famous notion of 'trial and error' as the mechanism by which associations between actions and feelings are acquired. In this work Bain also provided a systematic discussion of the physiological and subjective character of emotions, aspects of which anticipated later writings of William James, John B. Watson, and Donald Hebb.
