Abstract
28 women and 28 men threw a paddleball at a target in 4 conditions of noise and quiet, being given 150 trials on 2 days. Analysis of absolute constant error and total error indicated the encoding-specificity hypothesis was not supported and no transfer was noted across conditions, perhaps because the noise was not demanding enough.Keywords
