ABSTRACT:
The effect of strategy instruction on response time in a sequential keypressing rask was compared during acquisition and retention. Specifically, this study determined the influence of: (1) an awareness strategy, (2) a non-awareness strategy, (3) a Five-Step Approach strategy and (4) a control condition. Sixty-four subjects completed 250 trials of nine sequential keypresses, and 50 trials of a dual task (keypresses and verbal report). Faster response times were found for the Five-Step Approach and non-awareness strategies during both acquisition and retention. Introducing beginners to strategies that are used by highly skilled performers facilitated response times.
