q1 · i? · causal · r?

Wallin's short communication reports two instances of "cross-education" or transference of training and offers them, in his words, "as furnishing evidence in favor of the doctrine" of formal discipline. No data, measures, or effect sizes are printed in the excerpt.

"These two instances of "cross-education" or transference of training have a certain value when taken in connection with the more familiar experiments which bear upon the doctrine of formal discipline."
