Psychology, Experimental
The interpretation of this difference may be made in accordance with
the principles already laid down. The ideated and actual movements
which favor the recurrence and persistence of an idea are, on grounds
generally recognized in psychology, much more likely to occur and
repeat themselves when the corresponding movements, or the same
movements in completer form, have frequently been repeated in
observation of the corresponding object.

VI.--Absent.
From this point on the place of Miss H. (IV.) is taken by Mr.
R. The members in each pair of objects in this group were not
exposed simultaneously.
1st: refers to object first exposed.
2d: refers to object last exposed.
General average: 1st, 12.64 sec.: 2d, 36.45 sec.
What is here called ideated movement--by which is understood the idea
of a change in spatial relations which accompanies a shifting of the
attention or a change in the mental attitude, as distinguished from
the sense of movements actually executed--was recognized as such by
one of the subjects, who says: "When the two objects are before me I
am conscious of what seem to be images of movement, or ideated
movements, not actual movements." The same subject also finds the
image of the object which had the longer exposure not only more vivid
in the quality of the content, but more distinct in outline.
