wearing off." Now attributes his well-being of yesterday to the good 

 weather, and vice versa for today which is cloudy. 



November 26. Reactions of this type no longer occur: awkward- 

 awkwardness, but new type has appeared the same reaction word is 

 given many times in the same list. "Spirit" was given 15 tunes in 

 today's work (160 words). Other responses of this type were "mean" 

 money," "mood." 



December 2. Reaction types occurred like those of November 26. 

 The repeated responses were, 



List I Occasion 3 times 



Gift 3 times 



Condition 5 times 

 List II Occasion 2 times 



Gift 2 times 



Condition 1 time 

 List III Occasion 1 time 



Gift 5 times 



Condition time 



Spirit 6 times 



It may be that "spirit" in the last list was substitution, voluntary or 

 involuntary, for the word "condition" In the middle of list III, sub- 

 ject said that when he gave a reaction that was being duplicated so often, 

 it was not the word that first came to mind, but to his lips, i.e., 



Maternal gift (spoken reaction) 

 Maternal care (thought reaction) 



After being told that hereafter on such reactions the thought word as 

 well as the spoken word would be called for, these reactions began 

 immediately to fall off, i.e., 



List IV Occasion 1 time 

 Gift time 



Condition time 

 Spirit 2 times 

 but Mind 5 times 



as if a new word were being introduced to avoid the anticipated question- 

 ing. There was still some evidence of the first type of odd reaction, i.e., 

 awkward ^awkwardness. 



December 3. Duplicate responses continue.
