AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how self-controlled feedback affects motor learning in introverted and extroverted individuals.
- Participants (56 university students) practiced a sequential-timing task with varying feedback methods based on their personality traits.
- Results indicated that those who practiced with self-controlled feedback performed better than those with externally controlled feedback, suggesting that this method benefits both personality types.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of self-controlled feedback on the learning of a sequential-timing motor task in introverts and extroverts.
Method: Fifty-six university students were selected by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. They practiced a motor task consisting of pressing computer keyboard keys in a specific spatial and temporal pattern. The experiment consisted of practice, retention, and transfer phases. The participants were distributed into 4 groups, formed by the combination of personality trait (extraversion/introversion) and type of feedback frequency (self-controlled/yoked).
Results: The results showed superior learning for the groups that practiced in a self-controlled schedule, in relation to groups who practiced in an externally controlled schedule, F(1, 52) = 4.13, p < .05, eta2 = .07, regardless of personality trait.
Conclusion: We conclude that self-controlled practice enhances motor learning in introverts and extroverts.
