But 1 On this topic see James, Principles of Psychology, Vol. I. , p. 420. 102 ATTENTION. unpractised subjects, in this experiment as in the preceding one, are apt to pass by a few fluctuations of attention without giving the prescribed sign. For a class of be- ginners in Experimental Psychology, twenty in number, the total number of observed movements of attention to the forbidden topic was as follows : during the first minute, 64; during the second minute, with the aid of an idea upon which t...o concentrate, 30. In doing the experiment the subject would realise how the very suggestion that he should not think of the holi- days led him to do so. Teachers will thus see the inad- visability of merely telling children not to attend to this or that. Rather should they seek to emphasise the idea which should take the place of the thought of the forbidden object. Not only will this be more likely to be effective with the child whose mind is wandering to some forbidden topic, including external objects of attraction, but the teacher will thus avoid suggesting any such topic to the other children.
