Experimental Study On The Implicit Learning Characteristics Of Motor Skills

The term "Implicit Learning" is presented by the American psychologist Reber in 1965. With the current development of cognitive psychology, to the late 1980s, the implicit learning has become a hot research field of cognitive psychology and diverged into various branches. At the same time, with the deepening of the study and continuous exploration of people, the implicit learning not only opens a window for the study of psychology, but also a new exploration of the unknown. With the in-depth study on formation mechanism, characteristics and practical applications of implicit learning motor skills by each sports psychology expert, sports psychologists have begun to increasingly focus on the significant role of the implicit learning in motor skill learning.Based on the hypothesis of the implicit learning in motor skills proposed by Masters and Maxwell, and combined with the need of sports practice, this study has a verification and discussion on characteristics of the implicit learning in different contexts. The study includes three experiments. Experiments have designed two different learning styles, the explicit learning and implicit learning according to separate logical of the guidance language. The experiment mainly uses two-factor mixed design and does a comparative experimental study on exhibited characteristics of Tennis Forehand through explicit and implicit acquisition. The results show that, compared with explicit learning, motor skills implicit learning shows stable operation and anti-stress and anti-jamming features under dual-task interference situational contexts. Experiments have verified the hypotheses one and two, but the conclusions of the third experimental are contrary to the original hypothesis, so the assumption does not hold. But it comes to the conclusion that both learning methods have the short-term keeping effect and maintain the same level of motor skill acquired by two learning methods after the time lag, which is consistent with the relevant conclusions.The research on the characteristics of implicit learning in this paper has verified the foreign related theoretical hypothesis and is consistent with the relevant conclusions. The research results not only provide new ideas for motor skills teaching, but also have good guidance for operating practice of motor skills.
