RESUMO

O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar os efeitos da frequência de conhecimento de resultados (CR) auto-controlada e externamente controlada na aprendizagem de uma habilidade motora discreta em idosos. Vinte e dois idosos na faixa etária de 60 a 76 anos de idade foram utilizados como sujeitos, distribuídos em dois grupos em relação aos diferentes tipos de controle de frequência de CR utilizada: auto-controlada ou externamente controlada. A tarefa consistiu em arremessar um implemento em um alvo. A hipótese testada é que sujeitos que praticam com frequências auto-controladas de CR obtêm maior aprendizagem do que sujeitos que praticam com frequências externamente controladas, conforme resultados anteriores com adultos. A análise dos dados foi realizada através da ANOVA One-way, utilizando-se o pacote estatístico SPSS. Os resultados mostraram forte tendência de superioridade para o grupo com CR auto-controlado, embora a diferença não seja significativa.

ABSTRACT

Self-controlled feedback and learning of a discrete motor ability in the elderly.

The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of the self-controlled frequency of knowledge of results (KR) and externally controlled frequency in the learning of a discrete motor ability in the elderly. Twenty-two elderly subjects in the age group of 60 to 76 were used as subjects, distributed into two groups in relation to the different types of KR frequency control: self-controlled or externally controlled. The task consisted of throwing an implement at a target. The tested hypothesis is that subjects who practice with self-controlled frequencies of KR obtain higher learning than subjects who practice with externally controlled frequencies, according to previous results with adults. The analysis of the data was carried out through ANOVA One-way, where the statistical SPSS package was used. The results showed a strong superiority tendency for the group with self-controlled KR, although the difference was not significant.

Key-words: motor learning, feedback, self-controlled knowledge of results, elderly
