Abstract
Between-days performance of repetitive movements at a self-paced tempo was studied. 60 Ss performed an accuracy task involving successive arm swings at an individually chosen tempo on each of 2 consecutive days. Between-days correlations for Ss' selected tempos of performance and for within- S variance in motor response times indicated that personal tempo is at least a moderately stable attribute.Keywords
