Abstract
THIS book is a study of the way in which muscular skill is acquired. It is eminently popular in exposition; but behind its somewhat racy style lies the weight of facts that have been investigated in carefully planned research. Prof. Pear applies the facts, originally brought to light in connexion with problems of industrial psychology, not only to the acquisition of dexterity in such operations as typewriting and metal polishing, but also to those of athletic skill as exemplified in cricket, skating, and similar games and sports.
Skill in Work and Play.
