{"pk":26083,"title":"Learning How To Throw Darts\nThe Effect Of Modeling Type And Reflection On Dart-Throwing Skills","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this study we investigate the effect of modeling type and\nreflection on the acquisition of dart-throwing skills, self-\nefficacy beliefs and self-reaction scores by replicating a study\nby Kitsantas, Zimmerman, and Cleary (2000). Participants\nobserving a coping model were expected to surpass\nparticipants observing a mastery model who in turn were\nexpected to outperform participants who learned without a\nmodel. Reflection was hypothesized to have a positive effect.\nNinety undergraduate students were tested three times on\ndart-throwing skills, self-efficacy beliefs, and self-reaction\nscores. Contrary to what was expected, we found no main\neffects of modeling type and reflection. No interaction effects\nwere found either. There was an effect of trial, indicating that\nparticipants improved dart-throwing skills, self-efficacy\nbeliefs, and self-reaction scores over time. Furthermore, self-\nefficacy beliefs and dart-throwing skill were highly\ncorrelated. Our results suggest that learners do not benefit\nfrom observing a model and reflecting, but practice makes\nperfect.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"observational learning; modeling type; reflection;\ndart throwing; motor skills"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8294c6vr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Janneke","middle_name":"van der","last_name":"Loo","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg University","department":""},{"first_name":"Eefje","middle_name":"","last_name":"Frissen","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg University","department":""},{"first_name":"Emiel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Krahmer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26083/galley/15719/download/"}]}
