“…In a later experiment (181), the breakdown in the correlation pattern with introduction of a major rest is very nice, but rest does more than reduce IR. Nance's earlier study (156), in which he compared intertask correlations as affected by two variables, pacing and distribution, and, particularly, Kientzle's (124,125) two sets of data are quite opposed to an IR explanation of the pattern. Kientzle claimed essentially identical patterns and magnitudes of correlations with massed and distributed reversed-alphabet printing (124).…”

“…However, just as with IQ and the concept of in telligence, the concept of a general aptitude ("g") in motor ability has been questioned by theoretical developments the past two decades (Sporns & Edelman, 1993;Hadders-Algra, 2010). It is an old and common finding in research on individual differences in motor performance that the level of in terrelationships (correlations) between various motor tests can be relatively low (Bagley, 1901;Garfiel, 1923;Seashore, 1930;Buxton, 1938;Nance, 1948;Henry, 1961;Drowatsky & Zuccato, 1967;Husak & Magill, 1979;Haga, Ped ersen, & Sigmundsson, 2008). Individual differences (variations) in motor skills are therefore hypothesized to be task-specific, and the level of motor performance people attain is not associated with, or dependent upon, a ba sic motor ability (or motoric "g") that underlies performance across motor tasks (Haga, et al, 2008).…”

“…In this respect, Larkin and Parker (2002) argued that in "specifi c" training, every particular skill is considered specifi c and should be trained specifi cally. Evidence supporting the task-specifi city perspective of learning can be found in motor skills research, where correlations between various motor tests can be relatively low ( Bagley, 1901 ;Garfi eld, 1923 ;Seashore, 1930 ;Buxton, 1938 ;Seashore, Buxton, & McCollom, 1940 ;Nance, 1948 ;Henry, 1961 ;Drowotsky & Zuccato, 1967 ;Husak & Magill, 1979 ;Haga, et al, 2008 ).…”
