This study was designed to examine the generality of motor learning by action-observation. During practice, action-observation participants watched a learning model (e.g., physical practice participants) perform a motor sequence-timing task involving mouse/cursor movements on a computer screen; control participants watched a blank screen. Participants transferred to either a congruent (same mouse-cursor gain), or an incongruent (different mouse-cursor gain) condition. As predicted, motor sequence timing was learned through action-observation as well as physical practice. Moreover, transfer of learning to an incongruent set of task demands indicates that the motor representation developed through observation includes generalised visual-motor procedures associated with the use of feedback utilization.
本研究旨在检验通过动作观察进行运动学习的普遍性。在练习过程中，动作观察参与者观看学习模型（例如，物理练习参与者）执行涉及鼠标/光标在计算机屏幕上移动的运动序列定时任务；对照组参与者观看空白屏幕。参与者转移到一致（相同的鼠标-光标增益）或不一致（不同的鼠标-光标增益）条件。正如预测的那样，运动序列定时可以通过动作观察和物理练习来学习。此外，对不一致任务要求的学习迁移表明，通过观察形成的运动表示包括与使用反馈利用相关的通用视觉-运动程序。
