Object Details

Description

This documentation contains documents used in experiments with Joseph J. Ray’s teaching machine or multitester. In addition to blank tabulation sheets and blank record sheets, there are handwritten record sheets recording reactions of experimenters and subjects of experiments for twenty different experiments. Most documents are dated only with the month (January, November, or December) and day of the month but one is dated November, 1935.
The materials were removed from a three-ring binder entitled: Property of (/) J. J. Ray (/) [illiegible].
For the Ray teaching machine, see accession 1979.0853. For other documentation, see the rest of accession 1985.0815 and accession 1981.0248.
