Abstract
AT an inter-sectional discussion on perseveration in Section J (Psychology) of the British Association meeting at Aberdeen, Dr. Wynn Jones, who opened the discussion, indicated that manifestations of perseveration may be classified in various ways, for example, as affective, conative, ideational, sensory or motor aspects of mentality. The study of the interrelation between these forms of perseveration has not received adequate attention. He further pointed out that investigators agree in finding evidence for a common factor in the motor tests. It was also suggested on the basis of a preliminary investigation with siblings as subjects that it may be possible to determine whether any of the alleged manifestations of perseveration are subject to hereditary influences.
