Influence of Self-Controlled Feedback on Learning a Serial Motor Skill

Abstract

Self-controlled feedback on a variety of tasks are well established as effective means of facilitating motor skill learning. This study assessed the effects of self-controlled feedback on the performance of a serial motor skill. The task was to learn the sequence of 18 movements that make up the Taekwondo Poomsae Taegeuk first, which is the first beginner's practice form learned in this martial art. Twenty-four novice female participants (M age=27.2 yr., SD=1.8) were divided into two groups. All participants performed 16 trials in 4 blocks of the acquisition phase and 20 hr. later, 8 trials in 2 blocks of the retention phase. The self-controlled feedback group had significantly higher performance compared to the yoked-feedback group with regard to acquisition and retention. The results of this study may contribute to the literature regarding feedback by extending the usefulness of self-controlled feedback for learning a serial skill.

The effects of self-controlled and instructor-controlled feedback on motor learning and intrinsic motivation among novice adolescent taekwondo players

“…The findings of the acquisition phase indicated that regardless of the progress during the aforementioned phase, there was no significant difference among the three given groups. These findings were in line with the studies of Chiviacowsky and Wulf (2002Wulf ( , 2005, Chiviacowsky et al (2008Chiviacowsky et al ( , 2012, but they are in contrast with the results of Aiken et al (2012, Carter and Patterson (2012), Alikhani et al (2013), and Lim et al (2015). Friedrich and Mandl (1997) claimed that based on the cognitive view, the self-controlled condition put more pressure on the subjects.…”

“…Except for the acquisition phase, the results showed that those subjects who receive self-control feedback in the retention test have a better performance in comparison to the other groups (yoked and instructor-control feedback). The results of previous research done in the field of self-control feedback supported this point as a facilitating factor at the time of motor skill learning (Alikhani et al, 2013;Carter & Patterson 2012;Chiviacowsky & Wulf, 2002, 2005Fairbrother et al, 2012;Lim et al, 2015;Patterson & Carter 2010). In addition, Lim et al (2015) argue that the self-controlled feedback group had significantly superior performance compared to the yoked-feedback group in terms of acquisition and retention on the learning a serial motor skill.…”

“…In addition, feedback following good trials increased intrinsic motivation, perceived competence and enjoyment/interest (Amorose & Horn, 2000;Badami et al, 2011). Regarding the importance of feedback in taekwondo, Lim et al (2015) concluded that the pattern of self-controlled feedback can be adopted as a training strategy during the sessions of prolonged and difficult serial skills such as Taekwondo. Moreover, the results revealed that self-controlled feedback is associated with functions such as boosting deep, complex cognitive processing.…”
