a comparison of the effect of self-controlled feedback frequency and examiner controlled frequency on acquisition and learning of throwing skill in children

this study aimed at comparing the effect of self-controlled feedback with 100% frequency on motor skill learning in children. 60 children (11.1±0.86 yr) were selected randomly and based on their pretest results divided into same three groups of 100% feedback, self-controlled and yoked. in the acquisition phase, subjects completed 120 trials. at the end of the second day, subjects performed a 10-trial block as the acquisition test. after 48 hours, retention test was conducted like the acquisition test. manova with repeated measures on the intra-group factor (trial blocks) was recruited in the acquisition phase and one-way anova and lsd post hoc test was used for the retention phase. the results of the acquisition phase showed the significant effect of blocks (p
