Abstract
In this study, the ability to inhibit motor movement is distinguished from a more generalized low activity level. It is argued that the former should be functional for problem-solving while the latter should not. With a sample of 42 nursery-school children, measures were taken of activity level during free play, of inhibition of motor movement, of IQ, and of performance on the Children's Embedded Figures Test. Scores on inhibition of movement proved to be positively correlated with the measures of intellectual ability, while general activity scores were not.
