These facts are yielded by Table XII: (1) There are but two classes of observers, as no tendency exists to favor the group of longer exposure. (2) The time-error shows a considerably more marked tendency than the length of look, which is indeed somewhat surpassed by the space-error. (3) The persistence of the space-error, even among those that reveal a tendency in length of exposure, shows that the factor of relative difference in length of look cannot account for it. The persistence of it, too, when the order of exposure is controlled, even though the conditions are not wholly adapted to the study of this latter factor, suggest at least that the space-error is independent of even that order; but into this we shall make special enquiry. (4) The judgment of number is independent of the amount of eye-movement devoted to the fixation of the objects in a group. This conclusion, so far as the actual movement is concerned, is established by the fact that so many observers favor the shorter look; and by all the experiments with the One-Group Apparatus where an exposure of 1/25 sec. was used, since that time was too short to admit of movement. That ideated movement is likewise insignificant appears from the fact of marked error arising in the material where the groups were duplicates. Here no motives to different movements could lie in the material.

d. Its Relation to the Order in which the Groups are viewed. Table XIII gives us the results of the enquiry. The experimental conditions were not changed except as to the length of exposure. Each group was given 3/5 sec.; and half the experiments were performed in the order right-left and half in the reverse order.
