The transfer of perceptual and/or motor training to the performance of a coincidence-anticipation task

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the response flexibility of children between six and 10 years of age through a training program involving perceptual, motor and perceptive-motor components reveals a flexibility in the interceptive behavior of the older children while performing complex tasks. Environment-based alterations in the motor responses of children indicate the importance of incorporation of the motor component during practice.

On the cognitive basis of observational learning: development of mechanisms for the detection and correction of errors

Article Abstract:

Observation directly contributes to the acquisition and refinement of motor skills. This study indicates that observing a model performing a motor task aids the observer in developing mechanisms for error detection and correction that are similar to those gained through physical practice.

Cognitive processes underlying observational learning of motor skills

Article Abstract:

A combination of observation and physical practice have shown to be significantly more effective in the learning of a new motor skill than practice alone. The results of the study suggest a similarity between the cognitive processes involved in observational and motor learning.
