GROUP IV
The previous experiments suggest the conclusion that that starting-point in the presence of which consciousness is reacting exerts a greater influence than one just past. The proof of this anticipated result is supplemented by subsequent consectary data.
It is necessary to test the outcome when the nature of the impressions is varied and the starting-points are given simultaneously. An outline picture and a word may be so given. These experiments verify from a different standpoint the statement that the picture establishes itself more permanently and is more influential, there being 47.8% of the associations produced by the picture alone, 14.8% by the words alone, 25% of a fusion of the two, and 12.4% of a uniting influence with the first predominating. The subject R. is an exception in that she favors the word when not favoring a combination of the two, a fact which I am unable to explain except to add that the subject stated that the æsthetic pleasure connected with the picture was sufficient to inhibit the associations. K. has 100% for the pictures, which is partially explained by the fact that she is a remarkable visualizer who reproduces all situations in visual terms.
