In both cases, of course, the beginning of the motion was registered ; so the time occupied in pronouncing the word does not come into consideration. We further learn that it takes longer (for short words B 17, C 35a, for long words B 30, C 38 T) to see and name a word in a foreign than in one's native language. 1 Comparing the results here reached with those given in the foregoing section, we find that to name a short word in his native language B needed 104, C 114<r. We find further that B named a word in 39, C in 62<r less time than a letter. See Cattell, Phil. Studien, ii. 4 ; MIND 41.
