“…Eidetic imagery studies seem to agree that females show a higher amount of eidetic imagery than males. Studies by Zeman (137) and by Fischer and Hirschberg (46) are examples of such findings.…”

Since 1927, the field here to be reviewed has opened up at an increasingly rapid rate. A good beginning can be made with Langdon-Davies' popular chapter on the " history of human ideas about sex differences " (79). Five factors are cited as causing the myth of the " female character," and a prophecy of the future of womankind is attempted. Sumner and Keller (124) present a vast amount of carefully gathered and documented data on the social side of sexual relations, especially in primitive man. Briffault (21), a British anthropologist, offers extensive and exhaustive documentation for his thesis that the basis of human culture lies in the primitive sentiments about woman in her reproductive capacity; his three volumes contain approximately 2,300 pages. Bauer (10,11), a Viennese gynecologist, tries to prove that sex determines all of woman's actions, no matter how trivial, from birth to death, citing many references in his study of the physical, mental, sexual, and erotic aspects of feminine life. Scheuer (113) offers a historical contribution to the psychology of sex. Heilbron (60) believes woman to be inferior, " above all in the central organ, the brain." A good bibliography of titles, from classical literature to modern experiment, is found in Weith-Knudson's popular book (128). The feministic note is represented in such studies as that by Kennedy (76), using a Japanese setting.Turning to bibliographical studies, it will be unnecessary to more than mention the following: Allen (2), Ellis (44), Lincoln (86), Louttit (88, 89), Scheuer (114,115), and Woody (135) ; these give the careful student the key to the better material. In addition, Goodenough's (54) statement of a program for future research, together with a short summary of some studies in this field, is important and stimulating. Current work on sex differentiation and sex determination in animals is reported in such periodicals as the /. of Exper. Zoology and the Biol. Bull, for 1928 and 1929 especially. II.

“…Investigators have not only disagreed on the interpretation of this phenomenon, they have also disagreed on the primary data. Some investigators report that practically all individuals in a "large" populatione.g., Fischer and Hirschberg's (1924) 140 5s-possess "eidetic imagery," while other investigators report that none of their 5s, in an equally large population, possess this type of "imagery." Nevertheless, we can accept all of these contradictory reports: investigators have subsumed a number of phenomena under the general rubric of the "eidetic image"!…”

“…In our own investigations no attempt was made to determine the size of MI. The investigation of MI was also excluded from the test program in the studies of Zeman (41), Fischer and Hirsch-berg (6), Zillig (42), and Liefmann (32). Finally, it must be recalled that in relating EI to AI and MI the Marburg investigators did not include in their study those EI having "irregular" or "unpredictable" behavior.…”

Since eidetic phenomena in children have been subjected to an experimental analysis in hundreds of investigations, it seems desirable to examine the material at hand in order to determine some of the facts arrived at. This is not an easy task since many investigators have presented their results in a way which makes it almost impossible to separate fact and theory. It cannot be said that there are many points concerning which a general agreement has been reached; still it is at last conceded that eidetic images (EI) exist. As a matter of fact, the chief value of the extensivework carried on during the last decade must be sought in the formulation of a large number of special hypotheses which can be put to an experimental test. Unfortunately, very often too much emphasis has been laid on the importance of the data for psychological theory, and, even, for education. Especially the Marburg publications, although always extremely stimulating, suffer from a certain hypertrophy in theoretical matters. It ischiefly due to this hypertrophy that there is no dearth of experimental problems at the present time.
