Excerpt from A Study of the Relation of Accuracy to Speed
The object of the greater part of the experimental work done on Lifted Weights has been the testing of the validity of Weber's Law, the measurement of sensitivity, the analysis of the factors which enter into a sensory judgment, etc. The question of the relation of the time or rate of lift, or the time given for judgment, to the accuracy of discrimination has usually arisen incidentally as the result of a variation in pro cedure, or as an interesting sidelight on the main problem: in no instance has it been the chief interest. I have, therefore, in citing results from the classical work done in this field, restricted myself to those references which are directly perti nent to the problem dealt with in this paper. For, as a matter of fact, to review, even briefly, the extensive literature which has grown up around the subject of Lifted Weights would be impossible in a limited space, and for the present purpose, it would be unnecessary.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between speed of a judgment and its accuracy. It examines the assumption that accuracy inevitably declines as speed of perception increases. The author's intriguing experiments investigate this in the areas of lifted weights, perception of linear magnitudes, and handwritings, among others. Drawing on classical studies in the field, the author narrates the evolution of thought on this topic. Questions about an optimal time interval for perception, speed accuracy relation in movements, and consistency of individual performance are addressed. By incorporating these fields into the discussion, this book offers fresh insight into how we perceive and process information with the speed with which we do it.
