Abstract:
The role of verbal estimates of movement error in a ballistic movement task was investigated. Two groups performed a rapid linear movement timing task for 50 trials with KR followed by 50 trials without KR. Group I was required to give a verbal estimate of movement time immediately after the task, while Group II was not. Verbal labeling of movement error did not augment performance when KR was present. When KR was withdrawn, however, Group I maintained performance, but Group II's response accuracy declined. Implications for current motor learning theories are discussed.
