本研究调查了在运动任务中使用缩放设备的儿童与使用全尺寸设备的儿童相比，是否表现出对性能的有意识参与减少。儿童（9-11岁）在两个注意条件（单任务和双任务）使用两种类型的设备（规模和全尺寸）进行网球击球任务。一个更熟练的组和一个不太熟练的组是由击球成绩组成的。技能越高的一组比技能越低的一组显示出更大的工作记忆容量。对于两组来说，当使用缩放设备时，击球性能和技术都更好。使用缩放设备时的击球表现在两组中都没有被认知要求较高的次要任务破坏;然而，在使用全尺寸设备时，技能较低的组中的表现被破坏。我们的结论是，设备缩放可能会减少工作记忆参与运动性能和讨论的背景下，内隐运动学习理论的研究结果。(C)2014年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
This study investigated whether children who used scaled equipment compared to full size equipment during a motor task demonstrated reduced conscious involvement in performance. Children (9-11 years) performed a tennis hitting task in two attention conditions (single-task and dual-task) using two types of equipment (scaled and full size). A more skilled group and a less skilled group were formed using hitting performance scores. The more skilled group displayed greater working memory capacity than the less skilled group. For both groups, hitting performance and technique were better when scaled equipment was used. Hitting performance when using scaled equipment was not disrupted in either group by a cognitively demanding secondary task; however, performance was disrupted in the less skilled group when using full size equipment. We conclude that equipment scaling may reduce working memory engagement in motor performance and discuss the findings in the context of implicit motor learning theory. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
