The next reel showed an experiment for forming a conditioned reflex in a child. The child lay happily and easily on a table unable to see the operator concealed in another room. A funnel was suspended above his mouth. There was a band round his arm. The experimentor pressed a bulb which caused a slight friction against the skin on the arm and at the same moment a sweet dropped into the child's mouth. This was repeated several times, to the child's obvious satisfaction. Finally the experimentor pressed the bulb that caused the friction, but no sweet dropped, though the child's eyes were fixed on the funnel. After a few attempts the child did not attempt to respond to the signal but stared round the room, for even at so early an age it uses its mind and an automatic reflex is far less easily accomplished. It is said that children develop reflexes more easily than animals, retain them longer without practice, but they are also liable to be destroyed more quickly.
