3. Some Problems of Fatigue. By Miss May Smith. 



1. The difficulty of obtaining an adequate measure of fatigue and of standard- 

 ising its application. 



2. Before attempting to measure the probably small amount of fatigue 

 engendered by specialised work for a limited time it is necessary to get an 

 objective measure when fatigued conditions are assured. 



3. The immediate and delayed effects of fatigue due to considerable loss of 

 sleep, as measured by : 



(a) the Rivers — McDougall dotting machine. 

 (6) the reproduction of lists of associated words. 



(c) the combination of (a) and {b). 



(d) the learning and relearning of nonsense syllables. 



4. The effect of fatigue on the capacity for work when there are already 

 fatigue symptoms, as opposed to its effect on the normal state. 



5. The results of successive experiments involving the same loss of sleep 

 giving indication of partial immunity. 



4. The Ediixational Significance of Modern Psychological Research 

 ujwn the Thought-processes. By T. H. Peak. 



5. A Record of Feeling in Everydaij Life. By J. C'. Fluqel, B.A. 



A systematic record of feelings experienced in everyday life would seem to 

 be of considerable interest, both from the standpoint of pure and applied 

 Psychology and from that of Philosophy (especially of Ethics). 



The difficulties which have to be overcome in any attempt to make such a 

 record depend chiefly upon the illusions of memory which occur as regards 

 affective experiences. The nature and extent of these illusions make it im- 

 perative that the entries composing the record should be made as frequently 

 as possible in the course of the period under observation.
