COBEELATION IN LEAENING EECOEDS 25 



two interference trials was -f- 0.55 ; and for the same period in the 

 maze test with the last ten trials of the interference test the correla- 

 tion amounted to -f 0.49. 



The above correlations tend to show: first, that the animal that 

 does well in any one task is likely to retain more than one that does 

 not do well ; secondly, time and error are closely related in the types 

 of behavior that this investigation deals with, and one is a measure 

 of the other ; thirdly, an animal that does well in the beginning of a 

 task is more likely to do well at the end that an animal that is slow 

 in learning; fourthly, the animal that did well in the maze task ex- 

 hibited greater adaptability in behavior than one that did not do 

 well, as shown by a comparison of the interference records.
