[Footnote 1:  First choices correct by reason of aid from the experimenter are not counted as correct (R) in the summary.]

[Footnote *:  Aided by experimenter.]

The method of choosing the first box at the right end and then the one next to it developed in the case of all except two of the ten settings.  The time of appearance is worth noting.  In setting 1, it failed to appear; in setting 2, it developed early,—­after about one hundred trials; in setting 3, after about one hundred and fifty trials; in setting 4, after about one hundred and fifty trials; in setting 5, after about one hundred and seventy trials; in setting 6, after about one hundred trials; in setting 7, after about fifty trials; in setting 8, it never developed; in setting 9, after about fifty trials; and in setting 10, it developed very late,—­after about four hundred and seventy trials.
