Relation of Experience to Learning (Second Installment) Joseph J. Weber University of Texas THE summary table at the end of the previous installment gave us the following distri- bution of experience as it functions in word learning: Visual Experience 46% Kinesthetic 22% Auditory 18% Instinctive 8% Cutaneous 4% Olfactory and Gustatory 2% Total 100% The facts can be presented more forcibly in graphic form. ■ In another study,* similar to the foregoing, which was made with 50 words selected at random from the "Thousand Commonest Words" by Ayres and submitted in the spring of 1921 to 81 psychologists and ex- perienced educators at Teachers College, Columbia University, I ob- tained the following distribution: Visual 40% Auditory 25% Tactile 17% Miscellaneous Organic 15% Taste and Smell 3% Total 100% Considering the fact that a differ- ent list of words was judged, these results compare very favorably with my present distribution.
