Description

To examine the relationship between motor learning and intelligence, intellectually gifted (WISC FIQ 130-) and normal (SS 45-58) children were given mirror drawing with star-shaped path. All subjects first practiced fifteen original learning trials, and then ten relearning trials after about one hundred days. It was found that the gifted children performed significantly faster than the normal children from 4th to 24th trial. Concerning the accuracy, there were also significant differences between them from 4th to 7th trial. Further, significant point biserial correlation coefficients between drawing speed and intelligence were found from 4th trial. From these results, it was indicated that, although high intelligence was not always important at the beginning of learning, it gradually became more and more important. And it was also presumed that after learning reached a certain skill-level where the performance became autmatical, the degree of intelligent participation became quite little.
