 TABLE V. Observer M. 



even to the general rule in the learning-experiments do not present 

 anj'thing uniform here either, except perhaps the average duration 

 of the syllables of the last group, which is always smallest. 



The acceleiations of the rhythm in the order of the groups appears 

 very distinctly in the repetition-experiments with R. and in a 

 smaller degree with M. With R the decrease of the mean time for 

 one syllable of the several groups, proceeds regularly from 1 

 to 3; with M a decrease rev^eals itself from A to B, while the time- 

 value in A is about equal for the three groups. With D decrease 

 in A is regular; in B and C we observe an increase from 2 to 3. 



If we eliminate D, it appears that the second interval is apt 

 to increase, in relation to the first as well from A to C as from 

 1 to 3. This is most distinct for R, who presents only a single 

 exception. With iM we observe an increase from A to B, a decrease 

 from B to C, whereas the time-values for D are not uniform at all.
