General motor ability that underlies the all around athlete. 1 correlation measures the association between two diff test/ groups of scores, doesn"t measure causation; measures degree of overlap for example, suppose you asked 100 people to perform two motor tasks (x and y) Zero correlation no correlation between rankings in task 1 and task 2 results in zero correlation line of best fit is a flat line, no pos or neg correlation. Each task requires the combination of many (perhaps thousands) of specific abilities. Ability is an inherited trait, skill is what you develop with practice: eg. Correlation to which two tasks tap into the same abilities.
