Abstract
Subjects representing two different levels of skill in typewriting participated in an experiment concerning higher mental activities in connection with typewriting. Understanding and learning of the text typed was facilitated simply by the instruction: “Think of what you are typing!”. The improvement in learning was accompanied neither by increase in time nor in mean number of errors.Keywords
