Abstract

Using four levels of task complexity and three pretraining conditions found "that the amount of positive transfer from verbal pretraining to motor performance shows a consistent decrease as motor performance shows a consistent decrease as motor task complexity increases in terms of number of fingers used on a finger-positioning task. Possible explanations of the results are presented and discussed." 16 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
