This research assessed whether rhythm aids acquisition of motor skills by providing cues for the timing of those skills. Rhythms were presented to participants visually or visually with auditory cues. It was hypothesized that the auditory cues would facilitate recognition and learning of the rhythms. The three timing principles of rhythms were also explored. It was hypothesized that rhythms that satisfied all three timing principles would be more beneficial in learning a skill than rhythms that did not satisfy the principles. Three groups learned three different rhythms by practicing a tracking task. After training, participants attempted to reproduce the tracks from memory. Results suggest that rhythms do help in learning motor skills but different sets of timing principles explain perception of rhythm in different modalities.
本研究评估了节奏是否通过为运动技能的时机提供线索来辅助运动技能的习得。节奏以视觉方式呈现给参与者，或以视觉加听觉线索的方式呈现。研究假设听觉线索会促进对节奏的识别和学习。同时还探讨了节奏的三个时间原则。研究假设满足所有三个时间原则的节奏在学习技能方面比不满足这些原则的节奏更有益。三组参与者通过练习一项跟踪任务来学习三种不同的节奏。训练后，参与者尝试凭记忆重现轨迹。结果表明，节奏确实有助于学习运动技能，但不同的时间原则组解释了不同模态下对节奏的感知。
