Abstract
"The present experiment consists of a retest after one year of 47 of the [457 Ss] . . . who participated in the first experiment. Each subject was given 20 one-min. trials on the pursuit rotor separated by rest periods of one min. each. It was not possible to obtain enough subjects from any one of the original groups and hence the scores in this experiment consist of some individuals from each of the groups . . … Over the one-year period . . . scores dropped only 29 percent, and this was completely recovered after eight trials. Slight gains continued during the remaining trials. The long-lasting results of a brief practice period are convincingly demonstrated for this motor skill."
