In this paper, the author describes progressive changes which have taken place in a methodology for the study of keyboard tasks. The S–R relationships progressed from a laboratory abstraction to one having high face validity; practice was extended from a single session to programmes in which two sessions were given on each of ten days; and the relationship between the experimenter and the subjects became increasingly similar to that found in actual training situations. These changes are illustrated by examples drawn from the author's work. It is claimed that increasing the general face‐validity of the laboratory approach may enhance the possibilities of studying ‘pure’ problems.
