The effect of visual illusion and the number of practice efforts on facilitating motor skills learning

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of visual illusion and the number of practice attempts on facilitating motor skill learning.

A number of 32 students with a mean age of 10.43 ± 0.9 were selected and divided into two groups of 16 based on the type of visual illusion (target appears larger and the target appears smaller).The participants of each group, after performing 30 training attempts to get acquainted with the execution of marble shooting skills from a distance of 65 cm from the target center, performed 540 attempts related to their group in 6 sessions; Three retention tests were performed in such a way that one test was performed after every 180 attempts. To analyze the data, a Mixed ANOVA with repeated measures and one-way ANOVA was used.

The results showed a significant difference between the exercise group with large and small visual illusions, which depends on the level of rate of progress of individuals (P <0.05).

The results of the present study, by confirming the challenge point hypothesis, suggest that in order to improve the accuracy of targeting, first people
