Abstract

The objective of this study was to verify the effects of self controlled feedback in a specific golf motor skill. The sample was composed of 30 university students, distributed into two groups of 15 subjects, in accordance to the different types of KR: self controlled and externally controlled. The task used was similar to that in WULF, LAUTERBACH and TOOLE (1999) and WULF and SU (2007) studies, in which the participants were asked to hit golf balls with a nine iron, aiming at a circular target with a 50 cm radius. The experimental design was constituted of acquisition and retention phases. The results demonstrated a higher non-significant learning tendency for groups that received self controlled KR schedule.
