144 Ss were run in an experiment investigating the effects of type of movement (active vs passive), type of feedback (none, delayed, immediate) and the interaction effect on laterally displaced vision. The main hypothesis was that delayed feedback would be particularly effective under the condition of passive movement. While the main hypothesis was not supported, several secondary ones were supported. The hindering effect of the lack of significance of the main effect of type of movement on other hypotheses was pointed out
