“…At the onset of work there is an initial increase in tension which rapidly drops down to a level somewhat above that of the rest condition (23). There is some evidence that the height of the initial rise is a function of the subject's set (44,78). Following this "initial spurt" tension gradually increases as work continues (2,21,22,23), perhaps retarding through proprioceptive reinforcement the rapidity of work decrement.…”

The present review is concerned with two general topics: the influence of experimentally induced muscular tension on performance, and the changes in muscular tension which accompany various performances. No attempt will be made to include the results of clinical studies of neuromuscular hypertension or of those dealing with the various phenomena subsumed under the somewhat ambiguous term "psychical tension." Studies to be mentioned here are for the most part those which have appeared since 1936, although in some instances earlier references are cited. 1

“…A number of attempts have been made to demonstrate correlation between level of performance and muscular tension. White (78) found that superior performers tend to show higher skin resistance during code learning than do poor performers. The difference, however, was slight.…”

FOLLOWINGTHE TREATMENT of the theoretical aspect of learning and transfer of training in the preceding chapter, this chapter will reviewstudies of certain types of learning, such as motor learning and skill, memory and association, the formation of concepts, and problem solving, and will also deal with some of the conditions affecting learning. All studies dealing with the motivation of learning, individual differences, and the relation of general intelligence to learning are reserved for treatment in Chapter III.A number of excellent studies relating to learning in the various school subjects have been omitted from those treated in this chapter due to the fact that special numbers of the Review of Educational Research (92, 125) are devoted to the psychology of school subjects. However, many of the studies of the psychology of school subjects consist in applications of basic studies of learning, such as are reported in this chapter. Some other investigations which deal with the same types of learning reported here are reserved for treatment in Chapter IV, where they are reviewed as illustrations of the way methods of teaching affect learning.
