20 male volunteers (M = 22.9 yr., SD = 3.8 yr.) learned a motor skill (moved a slide) with temporal and spatial dimensions. Two groups, determined by specific combinations of knowledge of results (verbal-verbal and verbal-visual) were used. Multivariate analysis and follow-up procedures indicated an over-all reduction of absolute and variable errors over 4 trial blocks for both groups.
