the reason that chance movements are right as a rule." Subject I 

 reports at the 9D "In many instances one delivery excites the next in 

 order." 



This initial stage may be regarded as one of vague motor 

 attitude toward the movements. But the attitude does not 

 endure long, for it is broken up at different points by the associ- 

 ation of two, three and four movements. 



At the twentieth trial J describes movements that are "smooth and 

 flowing," and at the 28D says that "certain parts felt like going over 

 an old trail." At 60D, "Attention is at times a little ahead of the 

 card, I feel the need of better control of attention. At times I try to 

 suppress it and say to myself, "Do not be so anxious, let cards go as 

 they will." At the 70D, "I can anticipate the next box. This is 

 done in terms of box and imagery of movement, with visual correction 

 of hand. The constant use of the eye is merely for accuracy." SOD. 

 "Over attention, or attention to what is automatic checks speed." 



Subject I. 35D9P. "I feel that I can throw with some abandon, 

 am centering attention on the order of the movements. There are 

 places where the movements are obscure and hesitating and then there 

 are other e.g. at the beginning, near the midle and at the end where I 

 'let her rip.' 



40D10P. "The order of the cards, order of movement and the posi- 

 tion of the boxes are all well known. The latter, position of the boxes, 

 has grown clear again, since it is needed for accuracy. The movements 

 would be too general if exact position of the boxes were not clearly 

 known. The clearness and exactness are held by means of visual and 

 motor imagery and geometrical relationships.. Attention is on the 

 receiving box. I do not look at the cards as I know the order and the 

 movements. Each box in turn is a terminal box and attention is on 

 the box and the card as it goes into the box. I do not read ahead in 

 music, nor in print and likewise do not attend ahead in distributing 

 cards. The whole fifty-two cards is becoming a unit. My memory 

 for the pack is in four groups. I pause at the end of each group." 

 45D11P. "The correlation between order of cards and sequence of 

 boxes is not yet complete. Memory for card, for box and for move- 

 ment did not mutually support each other." 



Subject F. 34D9P. "Tendency to throw cards in groups, first
