Abstract |
The authors have reviewed certain literature which deals with the relation between intelligence and heredity and environment, and have reported some experiments of their own which bear on the question of the relation between morphology and performance. Various sensory and motor tests were given to groups of college students, and correlations worked out between the results of these tests and the morphologic indices of those tested. The results substantiate the positive relation previously found between physical development and intelligence, and indicate further that in speed and flexibility of mental and motor performance those individuals with high morphologic indices surpass those with low indices. The correlation between morphologic type and speed of movement and association is somewhat higher for men than for women. From Psych Bulletin 21:08:00927.
