There were 15 pairs of cases who performed the tapping test at the end
of twelve months. Comparison with the 21 pairs after six months yields
the following results:
6 months 12 months
Average of gains of test group in excess of control - .09 9.93
Median of gains of test group in excess of control 0 11
P. E. of difference +-3.10 +- 5.26
Average in terms of P. E. .03 1.89
Median in terms of P. E. 0 2.09
The gain in the second interval is greater for the tapping test than for
any of the tests yet described. After the first six months there is no
gain. At the end of ten months the average gain is 9.93, and the median
11 taps per half minute. After six months' interval, 11 of 21 test group
cases had lost. At the end of twelve months, only 2 out of 15 had lost.
The control group, on the other hand, lost in 11 out of 21 cases after
six months, and in 6 out of 15 at the end of twelve months. All but one
of the test group cases made more than half of their gain in the second
period. Of the control group only 7 cases did this. The variability of
gains after 12 months is about equal to the variability at the end of
six months.
