An article as published is condensed and corrected from the original thesis.\n1.\tTheses for the degree of Ph. D. : Investigation in reaction-time and attention, by C. B. Bliss ; Researches on the mental and physical develop-ment of school-children, by J. A. Gilbert ; Measurements of illusions and hallucinations in normal life, by C. E. Seashore ; Studies of fatigue, by John M. Moore.\n2.\tTheses for the degree of M.D., the work being done under the direction of the Psychological Laboratory and presented to the faculty of the Yale Medical School : On the relation of the reaction-time to variations in intensity and pitch of the stimulus, by M. D. Slattery ; Reactiontime in abnormal conditions of the nervous system, by Alfred G. Nadler ; Simple and cortical reaction-time, by Howard F. Smith.\n3.\tTheses for special honors at graduation from Yale College, the theses being frequently made parts of larger articles : Experiments on the highest audible tone, by Howard F. Smith ; Some experiments on the reaction-time of a dog, by Edward M. Weyer ; Researches on reaction-time, by John L. Burnham ; Researches on reaction-time, by A. E. von Tobel; Researches on reaction-time, by A. Silverstein ; Researches on reaction-time, by G. R. Holden ; Researches on voluntary effort, by H. R. McDermott.\nThe regular courses given each year in the laboratory are as in the following list. The amount of direct personal supervision over the work of a student in a course can be roughly inferred from the total number in that course ; the total for the present year is stated after each course.\n1.\tPhysiological and Experimental Psychology. Two lectures per week throughout the year. The material covered by the demonstrations and experiments is about that contained in Ladd\u2019s Outlines of Physiological Psychology and Scripture\u2019s New Psychology. 127 seniors and juniors (elective), 8 graduates, 3 specials.\n2.\tElementary Laboratory Practice. One exercise of two hours per week throughout\nthe year. See above p. 89.\t3 seniors and juniors, 7 graduates.\n3.\tAdvanced Course in Experimental Psychology.

Participants in this course are either investigators or assistants. For assistants the object is such a training in accurate introspection, observation, experimenting and the art of research as is desirable for the general psychologist. This work is open to all. Only those who have had sufficient experience are permitted to undertake independent investigations. The results of all investigations belong to the archives of the laboratory. Those who undertake investigations thereby agree to prepare the results for publication, subject to approval, in the Studies from the Yale Psychological Laboratory.
