7 ページ - The use of sensory tests in correlation work is particularly interesting. In general, some writers are convinced that keen discrimination is a prerequisite to keen intelligence, while others are equally convinced that intelligence is essentially conditioned by "higher" processes, and only remotely by sensory capacity — barring, of course, such diminution of capacity as to interfere seriously with the experiencing of sensations, as in partial deafness or partial loss of vision. While it is scarcely...
13 ページ - ... of correlating the test findings with general intelligence. The latter was estimated by the headmasters of the schools from which the reagents came. The conclusions at which Burt arrived are as follows : Of the simple sensory tests, tactile, weight, pitch, and length of line discrimination, he says, "There appears to be no general connection between intelligence and capacity to discriminate weights ; any connections between intelligence and tactile discrimination, if it exists, is of the slightest...

4 ページ - The evidence has, however, been based either on too small a number of oases to be entirely convincing, or, on a comparison of discriminativeness with varying amounts of practice and interest. Several questions or problems bearing on the matter have not been satisfactorily worked out: 1. The number of tests necessary to secure an adequate measure of an individual's capacity in discriminations. It is certain that a single test or a few tests will not give a measure of sensory discrimination, whatever...
