Learning and retaining a rate of movement with the aid of kinesthetic and verbal cues.

Abstract

With Ss trained to turn a handwheel at a constant rate, found that either verbal or kinesthetic error information was superior to kinesthetic information about the standard rate when the rate was being learned. Ss were able to maintain the rate after they had been deprived of the cues used in learning. Final level of accuracy was not affected by the amount of delay before retention was tested.
