Specificity of learning in a video-aiming task: modifying the salience of dynamic visual cues.

ABSTRACT. The authors investigated whether the salience of dynamic visual information in a video-aiming task mediates the specificity of practice. Thirty participants practiced video-aiming motions in a full-vision, a weak-vision, or a target-only condition before being transferred to the target-only condition without knowledge of flows The full- and weak-vision conditions comeed in less endpoint bias and variability in acquisition than did the target-only condition. Going from acquisition to transfer originateed in a large increase in endpoint variability for the full-vision
