Participants in a motor learning experiment receiving greater practice without on-line visual feedback showed a decrease in performance. Participants receiving lesser practice and still no visual feedback did not show comparable decrements. The study determined that not all sensations find their way into skill.

Key words: humans, specificity of motor learning, visual feedback

The repertoire of human movements is almost infinite.
