Abstract

Using the rotary pursuit task 4 combinations of training and test conditions were used to make possible the measurement of warm-up decrement, temporary work decrement, and permanent work decrement. "It was concluded that theories predicting the development of appreciable amounts of permanent work decrement paralleling temporary work decrement may need extension or revision, and that perhaps permanent work decrement (-sub(S)I-sub(R)) is an unnecessary construct."
