Sažetak
The purpose of the study was to verify the hypothesis about the existence of general speed of information flow, to determine the degree of participation of cognitive processes in motoric activity and to determine the importance of various cognitive processes for motoric activity.
The data were collected on 642 healthy males, aged 19 to 27 years, using 10 tests of cognitive abilities, 13 measures of simple speed and 26 measures of complex speed. Three canonical analyses were accomplished: between cognitive tests and complex speed measures and between cognitive tests and all speed measures.
The results also show that complex motoric tasks involve general intellectual activity more if they are complex not biomechanically compley motoric tasks of all cognitive processes only input processes are involved.
The results also point out that input processes are not so important in efficacious performance of complex motoric tasks of all cognitive processes are not so important in efficacious performance of complex motoric tasks, as it was usually understood. Namely, in the space of cognitive test general (canonical) factor was obtained, which means that all parts of central nervous system, essential for cognitive functioning, are nearly equally activated. The canonical factor isolated from the speed measures, connected with general cognitive factor, had the highest correlations with complex motoric tasks. They were characterised by unusual movement structures which cannot be performed without earlier existing programmes, by the speed of understanding of motoric problem, by the speed of learning and remembering succession of movements, and by the efficacious use of feedback information.
Basically, there two main sources of covariance between cognitive and motoric speed tests. The first is the general speed of information flow, and the second is the articipation of sognitive flow, and the second is the participation of cognitive processes in motoric activity. The results show that the first source of covariance has a greater influence on the obtained relations.
