Contextual Interference Effect in Bandwidth and Self-Control Feedback Conditions on Relative and Absolute Timing Learning

Abstract

This study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. In two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. In experiment I, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (parameters) was studied. Results in the acquisition test showed the performance of blocked self-control and bandwidth groups were significantly better than other groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in retention and transfer tests (P>0.05). In experiment II, the effects of contextual interference with using a bandwidth and self-control feedback on relative timing learning (GMP) were studied. . In retention and transfer tests, the performance of random self-control and bandwidth groups was significantly different to the other groups (P<0.05). The performance of self-control feedback groups in both experiments was better than bandwidth feedback groups (P<0.05) in all stages. The results of this study reveal the beneficial effect of self-control feedback on relative timing (GMP) rather than absolute timing (parameter) learning and supported the theoretical separation of this processes.

Depressive Syndrome and Osteoarthritis: A Predictive Factors Analysis in Outpatient at the University of North Sumatra Hospital

“…The majority were female (n=64, 53%), with a median age of 61 (40-68), an average BMI of 24.39±4.16, 70.83% (n=85) were married, and 49.17% (n=59) were employed. The median OA severity in the sample was grade 3, the median level of experienced pain was 5 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7), and the BDI score was 21.23±7.16 (mild to moderate). Bivariate analysis was conducted on the above characteristics variables and BDI score to determine which variables met the requirements for linear regression analysis.…”

“…Nazarinasab et al showed that 58.5% of OA patients experience mental disorders, with depression being the most prevalent [5]. Shams et al indicated that engaging in physical activities could lead to lower levels of depression in the elderly [6]. A recent study found that females are more likely to experience incident depression within 24 months after a knee OA diagnosis [7].…”
