Abstract
A motor learning task, pursuit motor performance, was used as an original learning situation, and was followed by practice on several other motor tasks. Later tests of pursuit skill showed that reminiscence occurred in large enough amts. to cover up almost all possible retroactive inhibition which might have been operative at the final test. Certain interpolated activities seemed to produce a "relative retroaction," in that less reminiscence occurred than was the case for control groups which read during the interpolated period. The importance of retroaction in motor learning is apparently less than in verbal learning retroaction.
