Retention and Obliviscence as a Function of the Time

III. 525 minutes.12 tests.The learning at the time A, the relearning at the time C. The different influence of the two times of day is calculated as follows: eight series of 13 syllables each required, with 38 tests at time C, 1173 seconds (P.E.m=10); similar series with 92 tests at time A required 1027 seconds (P.E.m=8). The first number is approximately 12 per cent. of its own value larger than the second; therefore I have subtracted that much from the numerical values found for the time C.
