The slight effect on memory and free association is explained partly by

the methods used in the laboratory (difference in time of recognizing
words suddenly exposed a second time), which are more in the nature of
'short cuts' and perhaps not so accurate a reproduction of normal
memorizing as those employed by Kraepelin and Vogt (memorizing numbers
and verse), and partly by the power of 'autogenic reinforcement,' which
it is difficult to eliminate in a laboratory test
