VI. THE LEARNING OF TWO MAZES WHEN THEY ARE LEARNED 



ONE AFTER ANOTHER COMPARED WITH THE LEARNING 



OF THE SAME MAZES WHEN ONE IS PARTIALLY 



LEARNED, THEN THE OTHER COMPLETELY 



LEARNED, AND FINALLY THE LEARNING OF 



THE FORMER COMPLETED 



After the learning of the first maze had been completed, 

 as described in the last section, records were at hand giving 

 the total number of trials, of errors and the time required 

 for the mastery of the two mazes. These records enable 

 us to compare the records of learning two mazes when 

 these mazes are learned one after the other with the records
