Abstract |
Experimental findings are presented which indicate that speed is not conditioned uniformly in all activities by some unitary factor or set of factors. Correlations between speed measurements tended to be high when the postular preparation and the types of motor activity involved were similar. Correlations decreased practically to zero where the processes correlated were strikingly unlike with respect to these two major conditions. The results lead the author to conclude that such expressions as "relation of speed to mental ability" have no meaning. It is necessary to specify what sort of speed is meant, since different types of speed variables have little in common. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) |
