“…This result agrees with the many studies which, over the past thirty years, have shown that intelligence has low to trivial correlations with various estimates of physical performance, and with the findings of such studies in motor learning as Ruch (1925), Brace (1927Brace ( , 1941Brace ( , 1946, Atkinson (1929), Goodenough and Brian (1929), Thompson and Witryol (1946). It also agrees with the earlier studies, Start (19601, Whitely (1962), which also investigated the relation between intelligence and the efficiency of learning by mental practice.…”

Summary. Forty‐four male teachers' college students mentally practised a gross motor skill with which they had previously been unfamiliar. At the end of the six‐day practice period, the subjects' ability to physically perform the movement was assessed and was compared with the scores the subjects had obtained on a test of general intelligence. An insignificant negative correlation was obtained. In breakdown of the relation between these two variables, it appeared that the highly skilful subjects, as assessed by their physical performance at the test, tended to have a significant negative correlation between their skill scores and the intelligence marks. This feature was noted in another study in the literature.

“…Si le TM est davantage lie aux processus de regulation en cours de mouvement, done en particulier a la finesse de I'ajustement terminal sur I'objectif qui est le plus couteux temporellement, il semble utile d'etudier son developpement en rapport avec le parametre de precision spatiale du mouvement. II existe en certain nombre d'etudes sur revolution de la Vitesse du mouvement en fonction de I'age, mais qui generalement n'etablissent pas ses relations avec la precision spatiale (Alderman, 1968;Boley, 1975;Bryan, 1982;Cantor & Kubose, 1970;Fulton & Hubbard, 1975;Goodenough & Brian, 1929;Goodenough & Tinker, 1930;Haywood, 1979;Hodgkins, 1963;Rey, 1968).…”

RESUME Le developpement de la coordination visuo-manuelle est considere, a travers le modele du pointage de cible, comme un aspect du comportement de prehension d'un objet reunissant les composantes de localisation, d'approche et d'ajustement. Les differents parametres de ce modele -temps de reaction, temps de mouvement, erreur spatiale terminale -sont etudiees en relation avec les operations qui y sont respectivement associees en priorite. De plus, sont relevees certaines etudes sur le comportement adulte concernant notamment: (1) les activites de capture visuelle et d'orientation directionnelle oculo-cephalique, (2) les activites de programmation balistique, (3) les activites de guidage et d'ajustement terminal sur la cible. La question du developpement respectif et des inter-relations de ces differentes activites est posee, et des etudes ontogenetiques sur ce modele, realisees chez des 5-11 ans, mettant preferentiellement en jeu soit des taches de programmation directionnelle, soit des taches d'ajustement sont rapportees, soulignant revolution relative des mecanismes pro-actif et retro-actif pour la periode consideree.
