TABLE 15 

 Reaction times for repetitions of day 10 



Conclusion for experiment III 



1. Successive repetitions of a list of stimulus words cause 

 successive decreases in the reaction times when the subject is 

 not informed of the fact of repetition. These reaction times 

 would ultimately reach a physiological level. 



EXPERIMENT IV. DOUBLE ASSOCIATIONS 



This experiment like experiment III was made only on a small 

 scale in order to get an indication of the probable course of the 

 results on a larger scale. It comprised one hour's work only 

 for each of four subjects, V, VI, VII, VIII. Six lists of stimulus 

 words were given, 20 each of one, two and three syllable adjec- 

 tives and intransitive verbs, run in parallel as in experiment II.
