Footnotes

The Studies introduced by this paper were initially under the supervision of Professor Spearman and the late Dr. J. R. Lord. They are directed and now supervised by Dr. Stephenson, the work being centred at Horton Mental Hospital, Epsom. Subsequent papers will introduce other factors and their experimental technique for work in mental hospitals, followed by an account of the results of the preliminary survey of psychotic material. See Abilities of Man, C. Spearman, F.R.S., 1927 (Macmillan); Psychologies of 1930 (Clark University Press); C. Spearman, “Maudsley Lecture,” Journ. Ment. Sci., 1929, lxxv, p. 357.
