50 Animal Intelligence 
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) after considerable experience, the other (10, 
II, 12) after experience with only one box. As the act in I 
was not along the line of the acts in previous boxes, and as 
a decrease in the squeezings and bitings would be of little 
use in the box as arranged, the influence of experience in 
the former way was of little account. The curves of all 
are shown on page 49. 
If the whole set of curves are examined in connection with 
the following table, which gives the general order in which 
each animal took up the different associations which he 
eventually formed, many suggestions of the influence of 
experience will be met with. The results are not exhaustive 
enough to justify more than the general conclusion that 
there is such an influence. By taking more individuals 
and thus eliminating all other factors besides experience, 
one can easily show just how and how far experience facili- 
tates association. 
When, in this table, the letters designating the boxes are 
in italics it means that, though the cat formed the associa- 
tion, it was in connection with other experiments and so is 
not recorded in the curves.
