title: Pure tone delayed auditory feedback: effect of instructions.
abstract: This study compared the effect of instructions to the subject upon key tapping performance with pure-tone delayed auditory feedback. One set of instructions stressed the importance of maintaining tapping rate whereas a second set emphasized consistency of the pattern. A third set stressed rate and pattern equality. The results lead to the recommendation that instructions stress equally both rate and pattern consistency.
