Q

Triplett 1898

A

Saw cyclists were faster when part of a group than when completing laps individually and hence decided to replicate with children where he instructed them to wind string onto a reel as fast as they could. He found that children who performed the task amongst others were quicker.
He suggested “an improvement in performance due to the mere presence of others”
An effect he called social facilitation
