H.. has produced new studies in the process of perception which scientists regardjas a basic key to human behavior. In the strange rooms of the laboratory oblong rooms appear square, far objects seem near, stationary objects move and short and tall individuals are transformed by mirrors into giants and dwarfs. The experiments were demonstrated by Prof. Merle Lawrence, of Princeton’s department of psychology- The apparatus was designed by. Prof. Adalbert Ames of Hanover. - “The experiments show.’* Professor Lawrence said, “that what you see when you look at something depends not so much on what is there as on the assumptions you make when you look.” “Assumptive” World What we believe to be the “real, physical world.” is only an “assumptive.” or “form” world. “In other words,” Professor Lawrence explained, “a person builds up out of past experience a conception of reality; which enables him to guess the results of his actions in the real world. But when the same person is confronted with the distorted rooms and deceptive distances in the laboratory, his assumed world fails him and his actions do not get the expected results. He sees a room that seems to be rectangular, for example, but the only reason it looks rectangular is because he has had much experience with rectangular rooms.” Actually, he said, there are an infinite number of differently shaped rooms, all of which will look rectangular when viewed from the proper position. That is, they will look rectangular to the person who has lived all his life in rectangular rooms. Peepholes Used One of the demonstrations included the viewing through a peephole of two normally sized men placed in one of the peculiarly distorted rooms developed in the I Princeton and Hanover labora- , tories. One in one corner of the | room looked like a dwarf, while | the one in the other corner looked like a giant. When they changed positions, the giant became the dwarf and vice versa. When the true lopsided nature of the room • was revealed the illusion vanished, j “The effect." Professor Lawrence explained, “was the result of the | assumption on the part of the ob- j servers that the room was rectangular. “These new psychological studies have meaning both in practical I affairs and psychological theory, and it appears likely that a new method of psychological analysis may develop from these expert-; ments. By watching a patient s reaction to the tests, the psychologist may be able to tell what con-, ception of the world that patient has formed from his past experi-. ence. and this would’ indicate a [ method of treatment “

That’s the opinion of Dr. Gustav O- Arlt of the department of Germanic languages on the Los Angeles campus of the University of California. “The Norwegians who settled early in America brought the first version of the modem Santa Claus, who in Europe had been known as St Nicholas, but never adequately personally described.” said Dr. Arlt "“When the American Clement Moore described the jolly, rotund gentleman in minute detail in his poem “ Twas The Night Before Christmas," he assumed the proportion at living legend and thus became cn integral part of Christian legend and folklore,” the professor stated.
