The inhibition of the false recognition to the subsequent recogni- 
tion of the primary figures was noticed in all cases. Forms and 
colours that had been altered for a second sitting and that led to 
a false recognition, aroused a sensation of novel experience. In 17 
cases that were observed, there was only one in which the primary 
figure did not arouse a sensation of novel experience. There was 
complete lack of recognition. The only alteration the primary figure 
underwent in this case, concerned one colour. Two of D’s eases 
very clearly demonstrate the inhibition proceeding from a false 
recognition. In either there was a false recognition of the forms 
and colours of an altered figure; the recognition was, however, 
more or less doubtful, so that later on the sensation of novel expe- 
rience, aroused by the primary figures, was also doubtful. 
These results appear to us to prove that the false recognition of 
stimuli, altered objectively in the interval, are answerable for a 
similar inhibition to that of the inaccurate memory-images, which 
were examined in our previous experiments. 
The primary figures, the alteration of which was recognized at 
the second sitting, were, in most cases, recognized completely when 
exhibited again. In the following table we give the percentages of 
the cases in which the primary figure, altered and recognized in 
the interval, was recognized completely, or partially, or gave rise to 
a sensation of novel experience:
