drawing, were employed in the construction of new series between the original initial and final series. As a result of the learning of the original and derived series there must in this case also be revealed how much of the saving in work is to be ascribed merely to the identity of the syllable masses and to the identity of the initial and final members of the separate series.

Section 37. Results. Associations of Indirect Sequence

For each group of original and derived series 11 double tests were instituted, 55 therefore in all. These were distributed irregularly over about 9 months. The results were as follows:

1) With derivation of the series by skipping one intermediate syllable.

The original series were learned in x seconds	The corresponding derived series, in y seconds	The latter, therefore, with a saving of z seconds
