The cure of stammering and thumb sucking among small children, and| possibly other bail habits, through | voluntary repetition of the act, was| suggested to psychologists of the asso- tion vesterday by Prof. Knight Dunlap of the Johns Hopkins Univer- sity. Rejecting the generally accepted “aw of learning” that repetition of an act in itself tends to fix habit, he offered a new theory that habit fixa. tion is due to other factors made | operative through repetition. From ! this, he deduced that the voluntary repetition of a habitual act may | equally well contribute, under proper conditions, to its abolition. He told of curing himself of the habit of transposing the letters of the rticle “the’ when using a typewriter | by deliberately practicing the typing of the word as “hte.” Placed on Retired List. | Capt.
