TY - JOUR PY - 1972// TI - Transfer of work decrement in motor learning JO - Journal of Motor Behavior A1 - McIntyre, J. S. A1 - Mostoway, W. A1 - Stojak, R. A. A1 - Humphries, M. SP - 223 EP - 229 VL - 4 IS - 4 N2 - Two experiments tested the hypothesis that the decremental effects of massed practice are due to the development of a negative drive (Hull's Ir). The results indicated that the decremental effects of massed practice on either the pursuit rotor or the two-hand coordinator do not transfer to depress performance or reminiscence on the other task. The results did not support Hull's drive interpretation but were explained by theories attributing decrement to a decreased level of arousal.
