Abstract
"... introverts and... extraverts ... were given 5-min. continuous work on a pursuit rotor prior to rest periods .... Over the original learning period introverts had a significantly higher performance trend than extraverts. There were no significant differences in reminiscence between the introvert and extravert groups. No relationships were found between neuroticism scores (on the Maudsley Personality Inventory) and either original learning or reminiscence." The results were discussed in terms of Eysenck s postulates regarding neurotic reactions.Keywords
