Considering the values of the mean deviation it appears that, 

 just as we observed about the mean deviation in the first repetition 

 it is considerably greater for the intervals than for the group, w^hich 

 proves that, just as with the first repetition, with I as well as 

 with II, the rhythm is more constant for the groups than for the 

 intervals all through the learning- and the repetition-process. 



The rhythm adopted by our observers, in the learning- as well as 

 in the repetition-experiments, wilh I and ÏI affects the recitation in 

 that here also the mean time falling to a syllable of a group, is 

 generally shorter than that of the last syllable of a group, in other 

 words the recitation also proceeds in groups and intervals (See 

 Tables X, XI and XII, which are constructed in the same way as 

 Tables I, II and III). We shall not enter into a discussion about 

 the question whether this is owing to the direct tendency of the
