The Generalizability Effectiveness of a Learning Strategy on Achievement in Related Closed Motor Skills.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Singer, Robert N.; Suwanthada, Silpachai – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1986
The effectiveness of a global learning strategy on the skill level attained in one closed primary motor task and two related ones was investigated. Eighty university students were randomly assigned to groups using either a content-dependent or content-independent strategy. Results are discussed. (Author/MT)

Effects of Prompted and Problem-solving Approaches on Learning and Transfer of Motor Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Singer, Robert N.; Gaines, Leonide – American Educational Research Journal, 1975
Investigates the transfer effects produced by cued (errorless) and trial-and-error (errorful) learning of a serial motor task. (Author/DEP)

The Generalizability Effect of Learning Strategies for Categories of Psychomotor Skills.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Singer, Robert N.; Cauraugh, James H. – Quest, 1985
Recognition of the importance of cognitive processes and appropriate learner strategies for achievement in psychomotor tasks is emphasized. A task analysis procedure is proposed to assist in determining strategies for learning. (MT)

Effect of Guided Vs. Discovery Learning Strategies on Initial Motor Task Learning, Transfer, and Retention
Singer, Robert N.; Pease, Dale – Research Quarterly, 1978
In research testing, guided motor learning yielded the best performance in terms of time efficiency in the initial task; transfer was most effective when learning conditions were similar for initial and transfer tasks; and guided learning in the initial and transfer tasks led to better retention of performance than discovery learning.

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)

To Err or Not to Err: A Question for the Instruction of Psychomotor Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Singer, Robert N. – Review of Educational Research, 1977
The effectiveness of guided and nonguided instructional strategies for teaching psychomotor skills is reviewed from the perspectives of learning theories, psychomotor research, transfer of learning, and the function and desirability of making errors in the learning process. (EVH)

Task Classification and Strategy Utilization in Motor Skills.
Singer, Robert N.; Gerson, Richard F. – Research Quarterly, 1981
The task classification scheme suggests that motor skills be categorized as the processing demands placed on a learner, feedback availability, and pacing conditions. Potential learning strategies were identified and defined in relation to the classification scheme. (JN)

Laboratory and Field Experiments in Motor Learning.
Singer, Robert N.; And Others – 1975
This manual for research in motor learning was written for scientifically based physical educators, experimental psychologists, and others interested in the investigation of learning and performance phenomena associated with skill acquisition. Laboratory and field experiments are presented that can be run with or without the presence of a formal…
