Abstract
Recent reports of experiments have announced rather startling claims concerning the great amount of ari thmetic learned in a rather short period of time. These researches made use of certain materials and devices. Since such great improvement in learning has not hitherto been thought possible, and since frequently such reports appear to be “headlines” rather than scientific fact, there is need for controlled scientific experiment to judge the values of these claims. In general there has been no royal road to improved learning in the past, only slow, careful and hard won progress. The following is a report of an experiment, scientifically designed to measure the value of the use of computing machines in the learning of arithmetic.
