9780265641507: Precision and Accuracy

Synopsis

This book explores the nature and extent of human accuracy and precision through a series of tests conducted by the author. Drawing from fields such as sensory discrimination, motor activities, and intellectual responses, the author argues that accuracy is not a general trait but varies depending on the specific task. The author employs statistical methods and established criteria to demonstrate that accuracy is not a unified factor that extends across different abilities. This challenges the idea of a general 'g' factor of intelligence proposed by Spearman and suggests that accuracy is a complex phenomenon influenced by various specific factors.
