III all tliese cases, in which "subjective ilijtiiiriisatioii" leadily 

 inaiiifested itself, and in whicii the observer reported iiis experience 

 as accurately as could be, it is evident tliat 



1°. the observer perceives the accented stiniiiius sooner than the 

 non-accented 



2°. that the perception aroused by tlie accented stimulus lasts 

 longer, as is shown directly by readings from the curves, so that 

 special measurements in this respect we considered superfluous. 



That the observer perceives the accented stimulus witii greater 

 intensity is not expressed in the above curves, the deflection of the 

 electromagnet being the same at every time. That this is a fact, 

 however, is made manifest by introspection. As shown by the 

 following curve this is also easily demonstrable by another method 

 of recording, viz. by using a tambour instead of a copper layer 

 for the accompanying taps of the observer. Owing to the slowness 

 of the recording pointer these curves do not indicate small time- 

 differences accurately ; for this reason the measurements of time 

 were taken from electrically registered curves only.

In summary, then, the results of our curves illtistrafiiig the 

 perceptions, lead to the following conclusions:
