Little research has been conducted on aging and the learning of motor skills. In this study, we examined the effects of different schedules of knowledge of results (KR) on the acquisition and retention of a movement timing task by young adults (20-23 years) and older adults (60-82 years). The results indicated that there were differences between young and older adults in the accuracy and consistency of motor performance when KR was provided. Accuracy effects persisted during a retention interval when KR was no longer provided, although there were no differences in variability. There were no interactions of age with any of the KR-related variables. These findings suggest that the ability to process KR, and the effects of KR on motor learning, are similar in young and older adults. These findings are discussed in terms of age-related issues in movement control and learning processes.
关于衰老与运动技能学习的研究很少。在本研究中，我们考察了不同结果反馈（KR）时间表对年轻人（20 - 23岁）和老年人（60 - 82岁）运动定时任务的习得和保持的影响。结果表明，在提供KR时，年轻人和老年人在运动表现的准确性和一致性方面存在差异。当不再提供KR时，在保持间隔期间准确性效应仍然存在，尽管在变异性方面没有差异。年龄与任何与KR相关的变量之间没有交互作用。这些发现表明，年轻人和老年人处理KR的能力以及KR对运动学习的影响是相似的。我们从运动控制和学习过程中与年龄相关的问题方面对这些发现进行了讨论。
