Cueing facilitates retention and transfer of multimedia learning. From the perspective of cognitive load theory (CLT), cueing has a positive effect on learning outcomes because of the reduction in total cognitive load and avoidance of cognitive overload. However, this has not been systematically evaluated. Moreover, what remains ambiguous is the direct relationship between the cue-related cogni...

This study compared the effects of a simple versus complex contraction pattern on the acquisition, retention, and transfer of maximal isometric strength gains and reductions in force variability. A control group (N = 12) performed simple isometric contractions of the wrist flexors. An experimental group (N = 12) performed complex proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) contractions cons...

the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of self-control feedback on relative and absolute timing through observational and physical practices. participants (n=90) were randomly assigned to physical and observational practice (self-control, yoked, and instructor kr) groups. they practiced a sequential timing task, which required participants to press four keys (2, 6, 8, and 4) respec...

a match of the students' traits and teaching and training styles of sport skills has received researchers' attention. the aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction of physical self-concept and coach-oriented and self-regulated training styles in acquisition, retention and transfer of volleyball serve of collegiate female students. 50 female students (age: 18-25) were...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of random and blocked practices with respect to the changes in generalized motor program (gmp) and parameter on acquisition, retention and transfer of table tennis service. for this purpose, 32 subjects were randomly assigned to four groups (8 subjects each group). in the first two groups, gmp changed with blocked and random arrangements while in...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of blocked, incremental systematic and random contextual interferences on acquisition, retention and transfer of volleyball skills based on changes in a generalized motor program. in fact, this study was conducted to answer this question that whether regular increment of contextual interference level is more effective on learning volleyball service s...

the purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of self – control modeling , that is presenting moded to learner whenever they asked for it, on learning a timing task.twenty four right handed subjects (12 males, 12 females, aged 19-20) voluntarily participated in the study and were assigned randomly to two groups of self – control and yoked.the task was pressing the keys number 1, 4...
