Sex, video-taped feedback and modeling effects on motor performance.
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the interaction of augmented information feedback and sex on accuracy and form of an overarm throwing pattern. In Exp. 1, a female model on video-tape was  employed for instruction and recall of imposed form by 16 male and 16 female undergraduates. The original hypothesis that indeed there would be an interaction between the subjects' sex and type of augmented information feedback was not observed. In Exp. 2, essentially the same procedures were employed with another, similar group of subjects and several significant results were observed. The data suggest successive investigations to explore the possible effects of the model's sex on motor performance.
