*The machine has four stable internal states. A million-pulse-per-second oscillator sends pulses to an electronic counter which passes through each of its four states—one-two-three-four-one-two…—250,000 times per second. The target state is determined by the length of time between subject choices.

*Hand-scoring was used only in this third series.

**In a larger study for NASA,3 devoted specifically to the question of whether learning could take place, 147 subjects were screened using the machine. Of these subjects, 6 showed positive learning significant at odds of 100:1 or better; the probability of this number of successful subjects showing up by chance is itself significant at odds of better than 250: 1. At the other extreme, no subjects showed a decline significant at odds of 100:1 to counterbalance the learners. The tendency toward learning, or lack of it, for the remaining 141 subjects was normally distributed as expected on the basis of chance.
