TY - JOUR PY - 1931// TI - The aptitude hypothesis in motor skills JO - Journal of experimental psychology A1 - Seashore, S. SP - 555 EP - 561 VL - 14 IS - 5 N2 - The Stanford motor skills battery of tests, consisting of Koerth pursuit rotor, motor rhythm synchrometer, speed of tapping, serial discrimeter, Miles speed rotor, and spool packer, was employed. Test results of 50 male subjects ranging from 16 to 26 years of age were correlated with the objective criterion of success in operating winding machines. The correlation between the unit as a whole and the criterion was .14 ± .10. "No matter how low the score found on any one of the tests, it was impossible to say that the observer could not succeed in the machine operation."
