ABSTRACT:
This study was a three-week, 15-session experiment designed to examine the effect of Visuo-Motor Behavior Rehearsal (VMBR) and Videotaped Modeling (VM) on the free throw accuracy of male intercollegiate athletes. Subjects were 48 male athletes ranging in age from 18 to 25 (M=19.8). Based on a pre-assessment of subjects' free throw shooting ability, subjects were placed in either High or Low ability categories, matched, and then assigned to one of three experimental conditions: (1) VMBR, (2) VMBR plus VM, (3) VM. Post-assessment data for free throw shooting performance was analyzed by means of a two (condition, ability level) by one (time) factor ANOVA. A significant main effect for the within subjects factor time was observed, indicating that across the levels of condition and ability, there was a signficant improvement in free throw shooting from pre- to post-assessment. It is argued that a number of nonspecific factors common to each of the experimental conditions were responsible for the demonstrated improvement in free throw shooting.
