Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of trials-to-criterion on the retention of a discrete motor skill (overhand beanbag throw) by moderately mentally retarded and severely mentally retarded individuals. Nonmentally retarded individuals were involved as a control group. The subjects were grouped by degree of retardation and randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups: two, three, or four consecutive trials-to-criterion. The task consisted of an overhand throw of a 2-inch square beanbag into the inner circle of a target from a distance of 10 feet. The subjects were provided one-to-one instruction until their respective criterion (2, 3, or 4 consecutive correct attempts) was met without assistance. The subjects were given up to eight weeks of instruction three times per week to meet criterion. A nationally validated systematic approach to instruction for the severely handicapped, as designed by Teaching Research and Oregon State University, was used. The number of attempts it took each subject to achieve the learning criterion (2, 3, or 4 consecutive correct attempts) was recorded. All subjects began the retention interval once their respective learning criterion was met. At the conclusion of the four-week retention interval the subjects were given a posttest to determine if the skill had been retained. Two consecutive correct attempts were used as criterion for the retention test. If the subjects did not meet the posttest criterion, one-to-one instruction was provided until two consecutive correct throws were achieved. The number of attempts it took each subject to reach two trials-to-criterion after the retention interval was utilized as a measure of retention. A generalized, randomized block ANCOVA was used to determine if any significant difference existed between the experimental and control groups. The pretest served as the covariate and was used as the reference for comparison to the posttest. The results of the study indicated that the scores of the mentally retarded subjects improved as a result of the treatment effect. Severely mentally retarded subjects who experienced three and four trials-to-criterion performed significantly better than severely mentally retarded subjects in the two trials-to-criterion group. No significant differences in the treatment groups were found for the nonmentally retarded and the moderately mentally retarded groups. However the moderately mentally retarded approached significance with better scores obtained by subjects in the three and four trials-to-criterion groups. On the basis of the findings of this study and within the limitations of the investigation, it was concluded that increased trials-to-criterion significantly influenced the retention scores of severely retarded individuals.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of three levels of contextual interference on the acquisition and retention of a sequential motor skill, by moderately mentally retarded and nonretarded subjects. The subjects were functioning between an eight and twelve year level. The dependent measures included; Reaction Time (RT), Total Response Time (TRT), and error scores. The experimental task required subjects (N = 36 moderately mentally retarded, and N = 36 nonretarded subjects), to initiate and complete the motor pattern by running as quickly as possible through the three mat pattern. A 2 (IQ) X 3 (Practice Condition) X 3 (Task) repeated measures design was used to analyze the RT and TRT dependent measures during acquisition and retention. A Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was initially employed. Significant effects were further analyzed through Univariate Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) procedures. An alpha level of 0.10 was used in this study. In addition to RT and TRT measures, anticipation errors and mat errors were recorded. A significant main effect for RT and TRT during acquisition was found between intelligence groups. There were no significant differences in RT between the intelligence groups during retention. Significant differences between intelligence groups were found with respect to TRT during retention. There were no statistically significant differences between the practice conditions with respect to RT and TRT. Empirical evidence supported the presence of task differences. Throughout the study, the nonretarded subjects produced fewer anticipation errors and fewer mat errors than moderately mentally retarded subjects. The total frequency of mat errors increased for both the mentally retarded and nonretarded groups, from acquisition to retention. It was concluded that there were no differences with respect to reaction time or total response time, as a function of contextual practice condition.
