Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effects on learning and on performance of a motor skill when visual information feedback was limited to: (1) action information feedback, (2) terminal information feedback, and (3) a combination of action and terminal information feedback. The motor skill used for this experiment was dart throwing. The subjects for this experiment were forty-eight female students who were randomly selected from the freshman class at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The subjects were divided into three groups with sixteen subjects in each group. Each group was distinguished by the progressive order of the feedback conditions under which it practiced. The three feedback conditions were (1) action information; (2) terminal information; and (3) a combination of action and terminal information; and the three progressive orders were: 1-2-3; 2-3-1; and 3-1-2. On the first day of practice, each subject was given a pretest to determine her initial level of skill. On the second day, each subject began practice under the experimental conditions according to the progressive order assigned to her group. One day of practice was spent under each of the three experimental conditions. On the fifth and last day of practice, each subject was given a post-test to determine her final level of skill.
