Abstract
An investigation of the animistic tendencies of 36 people 70 years of age and older disclosed that 75 per cent gave answers which can be considered those of a childhood level of development. Even when allowances are made for different educational levels Dr. Dennis and miss mallinger believe this represents a definite regression to childhood concepts.Keywords
