The Effects of Variability of Practice on The Learning of a Motor Task

The focus of this research was directed toward an examination of the processes involved in the development of control of the force of muscular contractions, and the test of specific hypotheses concerning the kinds of experiences that facilitate the force-control learning process. The purpose of the research was to determine the effect that practicing a movement at a variety of load resistances, as compared to no variety, had on the performance of that movement at transfer to novel and non-novel load resistances.
