60 girls practiced rotary pursuit with 10-sec. work, 15-sec. rest. 20 transferred to 60 rpm after 20 trials at 45 rpm, 20 transferred from 45 to 60 rpm, and 20 alternated trials. Total time on target was higher for 45 rpm than for 60 rpm and transfer was greater from the slower to the faster speed but over-all group performance was equivalent.
