Assessment of motor learning using a mobile device and association with anxiety: RCT

Introduction. Motor learning (AM) represents a set of internal and permanent changes in the individual's ability to perform motor task. This can be influenced by complexity task anxiety. Objective. To evaluate using gamified Trail Making Test correlate data with anxiety female university students. Method. The sample was comprised 33 right-handed students between 18 25 years age randomized two groups: G1 (n=16) – part A Test; G2 (n=17) B Test. Anxiety assessed State-Trait Inventory (STAI). Normality determined Komolgorov-Smirnov test. Mann-Whitney test t-test were used for characterization sample. Intra-group inter-group comparisons performed Friedman Wilcoxon tests. correlation independent variable (STAI-trait) dependent (errors on test) Spearman’s Results. In analysis, significant differences found time required complete environments 1 (p=0.006), 4 (p=0.040), 6 (p=0.034) as well number errors (p=0.004), (p=0.023), 5 (p=0.027). intra-group among nearly all both groups. moderate positive STAI-trait 2 (p=0.015, r=0.581) (p=0.032, r=0.520) G2. Conclusion. use modified gamification this study reflects aspects learning, which is directly factors such difficulty
