Observation of an expert model induces a skilled movement coordination pattern in a single session of intermittent practice

Abstract: We tested how observation of a skilled pattern of planar movements can assist in the learning of a new motor skill, which otherwise requires rigorous long-term practice to achieve fast and smooth performance. Sixty participants performed a sequence of planar hand movements on pre-test, acquisition, post-test and 24 h post-training blocks, under 1 of 4 conditions: an observation group (OG), a slowed observation group (SOG), a random motion control group (RMCG) and a double physical training control group (DPTCG… Show more

“…In both groups, these improvements did not come at the cost of decreased accuracy, i.e., it was not due to changing relative weights in the speed-accuracy tradeoff. Comparing our experiment to the previous results 17 obtained by observing an expert was also interesting. It seems that the observation groups fell between our analogy and explicit groups, as they weren't significantly different from either group.…”

“…Other research shows that the spatial and temporal aspects of a motor task can be regulated separately, using different feedback cues 23,24 . It is interesting to note that in Friedman & Korman 17 , viewing an expert in full speed caused participants to complete the task much faster (26.7% mean improvement for the observation group).…”
