IMITATION IN Docs 
Here the method was not to see if imitation could arouse 
more quickly an act which accident was fairly likély to bring 
forth sooner or later, but to see if, where aesent failed, 
imitation would succeed. 
3 was found to be unable of himself to escape from box 
BBr, and was then given a chance to Jearn from watching 1. 
The back of box BBx was torn off and wire netting substi- 
tuted for it. Another box with open front was placed di- 
rectly behind and against box BB1. No. 3, who was put in 
this second box, could thus see whatever took place in and

A similar failure to imitate was observed in the case of 
another simple act. No. 1, as may be seen on page 60, 
- had learned to escape from a pen about 8 by 5 feet by jump- 
ing up and biting a cord which ran from one end of the pen to 
the other and at the front end was tied to the bolt which 
held the door. Dogs 2 and 3 had failed in their accidental
