Make memory span tests, showing and speaking the

 if either seemed to him a distraction. S. 



The committee urges that such tests be 

 made, so far as possible, in all psychological 

 laboratories. It does not recommend that 

 the same tests be made everywhere, but, on 

 the contrary, advises that, at the present 

 time, a variety of tests be tried, so that the 

 best ones may be determined. Those who 

 make tests which they regard as desirable 

 are requested to send these with sufficient 

 descriptions to the committee. 



The committee hopes that the tests pro- 

 posed may be discussed fully at the present 

 meeting of the Association, and asks that 



the present committee be continued for 

 another year.
