The difference between the reaction times, let us say between the indifferent and the critical, is 6 for A, 2 for B, and 3 for C, that is, it is more than double for A when compared with the other two persons. In the same way we can calculate how many complex indicators there are on an average for the indifferent, critical, etc., reactions. THE AVERAGE COMPLEX-INDICATORS FOR EACH REACTION. --------------------------------------------- for | A | B | C ------------------------+------+------+------ Indifferent reactions | 0·6 | 0·9 | 0·8 Critical reactions | 1·3 | 0·9 | 1·2 Post-critical reactions | 0·6 | 1·0 | 0·8 --------------------------------------------- The difference between the indifferent and critical reactions for A = 0·7, for B = 0, for C = 0·4. A is again the highest. Another question to consider is, the proportion of imperfect reactions in each case. The result for A = 34%, for B = 28%, and for C = 30%. Here, too, A reaches the highest value, and in this, I believe, we see the characteristic moment of the guilt-complex in A. I am, however, unable to explain here circumstantially the reasons why I maintain that memory errors are related to an emotional complex, as this would lead me beyond the limits of the present work. I therefore refer the reader to my work "_Ueber die Reproductionsstörrungen im Associationsexperiment_" (IX Beitrag der Diagnost. Associat. Studien).[140] As it often happens that an association of strong feeling tone produces in the experiment a perseveration, with the result that not only the critical association, but also two or three successive associations are imperfectly reproduced, it will be very interesting to see how many imperfect reproductions are so arranged in the series in our cases. The result of computation shows that the imperfect reproductions thus arranged in series are for A 64·7%, for B 55·5%, and for C 30·0%. Again we find that A has the greatest percentage. To be sure, this may partially depend on the fact that A also possesses the greatest number of imperfect reproductions. Given a small number of reactions, it is usual that the greater the total number of the same, the more the imperfect reactions will occur in groups. But this cannot account for the high proportion in our case, where, on the other hand, B and C have not a much smaller number of imperfect reactions when compared to A. It is significant that C with her slight emotions during the experiment shows the minimum of imperfect reproductions arranged in series. As imperfect reproductions are also complex indicators, it is necessary to see how they distribute themselves in respect to the indifferent, critical, etc., reactions. It is hardly necessary to bring into prominence the differences between the indifferent and the critical reactions of the various subjects as shown by the resulting numbers of the table. In this respect, too, A occupies first place.
