Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Psychology, 1893, Vol. 5 The purpose of the present investigation was to test the accuracy of earlier experiments and to throw new light on some aspects of the subject. The experiments were made in the laboratory of Professor Ebbinghaus, in Berlin, beginning in May, 1890, and extending to February, 1891. The labora tory consists of a single room; this made it impossible for the reactor and the one who conducted the experiments to be separated. There was no conversation, however, during the progress of the experiments, except as the reactor said worthless when some abnormal conditions made the value of a certain reaction doubtful. The work was carried on late in the afternoon and in the evening, when the sur roundings were quiet. A signal always preceded the excita tion by about three fourths of a second.
