Comparisons of Verbal-Motor Performance and Learning in Serial Memory Tasks

Abstract

Abstract Two groups of thirty male university students, equated on the basis of scores achieved when learning a series of nonsense syllables, were blindfolded and given 10 massed trials in two large maze tasks. No significant differences were found in the motor tasks between those of high and low verbal ability. No significant correlations were found between verbal and motor ability as measured by the experimental tasks.
