| Abstract |
The first part of this selection of articles is devoted to the evolution of psychomotor aptitudes with age, a review of certain factors which influence this evolution (laterality, school attendance, occupational training, alcoholism, etc.) and the effect of apprenticeship. Second part: prognostic value of psychological tests from the Bonnardel battery (prognostic value in general, and for the particular cases of falls from heights and accidents with machines). The results of a limited statistical study show that use of psychotechnical tests results in a reduction, at least temporary, in the accident frequency rate. |
