It. \V. Wheeler, professor of psy chology, has been doing sonoe research work on the problem of the development of voluntary control over muscular movement. The purpose of the work is to make possible a description of the stages through which voluntary control passes when skill is acquired in muscular activity. Efficiency in muscular activity, according to Dr. Wheeler, depends on the proper balance of the two aspects of motor control, speed and accuracy. The development of efficiency is, obviously, through purpose or intent and takes place by the slow method of experience. For the best results, . the right atti tude is required; periods for practice and for rest must be. distributed; and work done wrong' must be undone. ' Tims the problem lias a practical bearing by sav ing time and energy, and making toward efficiency. I)r. 'Wheeler’s method of investigation is by means of a maze, a stylus, an elec tric counter, and two batteries, so con nected that the counter registers each time the maze and stylus come in contact. The subjects arc blind-folded and a measurement taken of the amount of skill acquired from day to day. The arm is closely watched and all action which takes place in the process of learning in this one instance is then applied to the process of learning in other instances.
