Synopsis
Excerpt from The Influence of the Time Interval Upon the Rate of Learning in the White Rat: A Dissertation
The purposes of the present historical section are: I) To bring together for critical consideration all the data reported up to the present time on the rate of learning in successive association; 2) To present a brief critical review of the experimental litera ture upon the subject of simultaneous and successive presentation in association; 3) To examine all data now published on the strength of function of association in the backward as com pared to the forward direction; 4) To show that the evidence is inconclusive because of its scantiness and, in some cases, its general character. Due to the fact that in some of the experi ments reviewed more than one of the above-named issues is discussed, it was deemed expedient to present the full report in each case rather than to attempt presentation by topics. Crit icism and discussion have in some cases been deferred to the Theoretical Section.
