Correlation between Mental and Motor Ability. (Amer. Journ. Psychol., vol. xii, No. 2, 1901.) Bagley, W. C.

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

These experiments were carried out on school children at Madison at the suggestion of Professor Jastrow, with the object of testing the results of Porter at St. Louis. Porter found a marked tendency to a direct relation between weight and mental precocity; weight, he then argued, stood for motor ability, and hence a child increases in mental efficiency directly as he increases in motor ability. These conclusions have been seriously criticised.
