This study investigated whether children who used scaled equipment compared to full size
equipment during a motor task demonstrated reduced conscious involvement in …

Skilled movement entails learned motor patterns that are produced with a high degree of
accuracy, consistency, and efficiency. The classic definition of skill by Guthrie (1952) …

According to ST Klapp (1995, 1996), extensive practice serves to induce the concatenation
of multiple-element responses. One benefit of the chunking process, argued Klapp, is more …

The authors' primary purpose in the present experiment was to determine if practice
changes the extent to which simple motor sequences are effector independent. Contralateral …

The effectiveness of three learning strategies on achievement was compared in the learning
and performing of a self-paced motor task. More specifically, investigated was the influence …

We examined whether the attentional focus induced by a suprapostural task has an
influence on the learning of a dynamic balance task. Participants balanced on a stabilometer …

The authors examined the effect of inserting observation practice and undirected dialog into
the rest interval between practice trials on the learning of a complex task (stabilometer) …

Numerous studies in the motor learning domain have demonstrated learning advantages of
self-controlled practice relative to yoked conditions. In separate lines of evidence in the …

The present study was designed to fill a gap in the literature on attentional focus and sports
performance. Specifically, in contrast to most previous studies in which an external focus …

Abstract Participants (N= 16) were given extensive practice (1,500 trials) on a perceptual-
motor aiming task. The full-vision (FV) group practiced with vision of their response cursor …
