Abstract: The present paper comprises a conclusion of the authors' experimental studies on the training of fine textile weavers (women), conducted from the end of 1957 to the beginning of 1958, at the fine textile shop of Hang-Chou Cotton Spinary. The goal, procedures and methods of this experiment have been introduced therein in detail. The results of this experimental study have revealed some psychological problems; they are as follows: 1. The influence of the awareness of goals or aimsupon the production cannot be sufficiently explained by means of any physiological mechanism. Evidently, the great activating function of the consciousness of goals is determined by social conditions. 2. Concerning the correction of erroneous movements, starting from Pavlor's theories and from the viewpoint of determinism, the authors adopted the method of alternative exercises to correct errors. This method differs radically from Dunlap's method of passive exercises. 3. The utilization of motor sensation constitutes one of the central links in the chain of formation of habits and skills. 4. Many theories preoccupied in man's mind, such as the theories of relative goals, the understanding of the percentage, etc. may appear correct from subjective speculation but cannot stand the test in actual practice.
