CHIVIACOWSKY, Suzete et al. Self-controlled knowledge of results: learning effects of different generalized motor program. Rev. Port. Cien. Desp. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2-3, pp.175-182. ISSN 1645-0523.

The objective of the current study was to compare the effects of self-controlled frequency of knowledge of results (KR) in the learning of different generalized motor programs. Thirty subjects were used; university students, distributed into two groups in accordance with the different feedback conditions: self controlled group and externally controlled group. Three sequential tasks were used, randomly presented, which involved pressing keys from a numerical keyboard, during the acquisition phase. The retention phase was carried out the following day. The data was analysed through the ANOVA, and the results did not show any significant differences between the groups demonstrating that self-controlled KR is not superior to externally controlled KR when different generalized motor programs are to be learned.

Keywords : motor-learning; self-control; auto-control; feedback; knowledge of results; contextual interference; generalized motor program.
