The only possible explanation for this centering of attention on 

 a particular string, was that No. 13 was imitating the act of No. 5. 

 By repeated and varied effort, No. 13 finally repeated in exact detail 

 the behavior he had witnessed.

V. General Summary of Results and Conclusions. 



Cases of Imitation, 

 (a) With Bespert to the Several Experiments. — The seven ex 

 periments (Chute Experiments A and B are counted as one) to 

 which the several animals were subjected, yielded a total of sixteen 

 cases of successful imitation, three of which were immediate, and 

 five cases of partially successful imitation. No one of the experi- 

 ments failed to yield at least one case. Four of the experiments 

 yielded imitation, successful or partially successful, for every animal 

 given the full series of tests (100). The other three gave a total 

 of five failures.
