The Psychological Laboratory at Bedford College has issued a set

of interesting papers chronicling some recent work done there on the general subject of "Memory, Association, and Thought Processes" The first of these Psychological Studies (Hodder and Stoughton for the University of London Press,

2s. 6d. net) describes experiments with mice and rata learning from experience to find their way through mazes, while the three remaining papers deal more directly with the processes of the human mind. The experimental work has evidently been conscientiously performed, and the reports give a clear resume of the results obtained.
