LEARNING PROCESSES
Psychologist Investigates Research Prob
lems for Practical Applica
tions.
l>r. 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.
