last night.
Elimination of former troubles
has been brought about by the use
of mazes and of feature discrim-
ination problems, Dr. Greene said.
The latter tests, he explained, con-
sist of rows of simple faces in which
one feature is the same on all but
one of the faces.
This test makes possible a large
range of difficulty, so that rows of
eight faces require high powers of
discrimination for successful solu-
tions, he said.
