“…One is the factors that make for efficient learning of nonsense syllables. Undoubtedly, from the above correlations the tension in the individual is a factor, as is substantiated by Bill's (18) and Stroud's (19) findings on the relation of muscular tension to the efficiency of learning; however, there are numerous other factors related to the efficiency of learning nonsense syllables such as previous practice, intelligence, or rather, memorizing ability, attitude of the subject, method of attack, etc. Secondly, there are numerous factors that influence the gross resistance level of an individual; Richter (11) says; "These changes (resistance levels) are further correlated with the mental condition of the individual, varying with degrees of tenseness or strain, with sleep, and with all other normal diurnal changes in mood and disposition."…”
