title: [Towards a day care hospital. V. Does repetition of the Newman test induce learning?].
abstract: Newman's test consist in draw a line on two parts of a figure made of points. This test was achieved in four successive trials by thirteen boys and fourteen girls, all voluntary students. In two trials subjects wear Reiser screen which reduce to a slight extent distinctness of vision. Trial order was randomised. For each trial, time performance and four numeral criterions of graphic defects were compared to initial values. The test retest values are no significantly different. Reiser screen alter some criterions. So the Newman test is useful to assess awakening on condition that such criterion were used in reference to subject preanaesthetic values and with controlled conditions of environment.
