Effect of Practice Order on the Efficiency of Bilateral Skill Acquisition
Dunham, Paul, Jr. – Research Quarterly, 1977
The results of this study indicate that order of practice does have a significant effect on skill acquisition with sequential ordering (practice of a successive nature) being the most efficient method for improving bilateral skill acquisition. (MB)

Effect of Guided Practice on Overhand-Throw Ball Velocities of Kindergarten Children
Halverson, Lolas E.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1977
Eight weeks of instruction that included 120 minutes of guided practice in the overarm throw did not significantly change the ball velocities of kindergarten children when compared to two groups with no formal throwing experience. (Author)

Matching Preferred Cognitive Mode with Teaching Methodology in Learning a Novel Motor Skill.
Murray, Mary Jo – Research Quarterly, 1979
In this study, learning was maximized by matching students with a certain learning style with complementary instructional strategies. (MM)

Effect of Learner Strategies with Modular Versus Traditional Instruction on Motor Skill Learning and Retention.
Anshel, Mark H.; Singer, Robert N. – Research Quarterly, 1980
Findings support the use of learning modules and learner strategies in the learning and remembering of complex gross motor skills. Strategy usage may have a positive effect on motor skill acquisition but not necessarily on retention. (CJ)

Saccadic Eye Movement Speed and Motor Response Execution
Williams, Harriet G.; Helfrich, Janet – Research Quarterly, 1977
Evidence was found to indicate that training to improve the speed of saccadic eye movement (movement from one fixation point to another) also resulted in observable changes in batting performance among a sample group of high school girls. (MJB)

Pretask Speed Training and Movement Complexity
Jensen, Barbara E. – Research Quarterly, 1976
This article examines two hypotheses on the subject of pretask training: can a child learn a difficult task more efficiently by practicing first at a slower speed, or can he learn an easier task more efficiently by first practicing it at full speed. (JD)
