As we proceed from the records of such cases to those of cases showing mental deterioration we observe a gradual reduction in the values of reactions, contraction of the mental horizon,[1] and the appearance of the phenomenon of perseveration. We submit the following test records for illustration: [Footnote 1: What we mean by contraction of the mental horizon has already been described in connection with epilepsy, page 47.] CASE No. 4047.--C.A.F.
