With a larger aperture the sensor/film is receiving more light which means the shutter speed can be increased. If the subject isn't perfectly still this can result in decreased blurriness. It's been a while since my HS photography class but I think that's correct.

Whether the freezing of subjects results in more information (detail) or less (without movement info) is subjective.
