| Abstract: | Abstract New methods of determining the amount and type of forgetting pioneered by Bilodeau, Sulzer and Levy were applied to gross perceptual motor skill retention. The changing interdependencies in time of R1, the learned response; KRr, recalled knowledge of results after an interpolated rest interval; and Ra, postrest performance, were studied. No evidence of forgetting occurred except for KRr, which deteriorated in accuracy over a 21 to 23 day rest interval. Limitations of the new paradigm were discussed. |
