The Effect Of The Input Information On The Performance Of The Sensorimotor Test
Vol.12,No.2(2018)
The objective of this study was to find out whether previous information that said a subject learning an unknown motion task, can influence the subject’s result in the given test. For the purposes of this study, a sensomotor test was used mirror a drawing test. The tested subjects were in the age range of 19–23 years. The sample of 150 subjects (56% males, 44% females) were randomly divided into three groups. Over the course of the test, the subjects being tested received information about the upcoming task was either very difficult or very easy. The control group received only test papers (Group 1). The group of the tested subjects, influenced by the information that the test will be difficult (Group 3), achieved the best results. Group 3, however, needed the largest amount of time to fulfil the tasks. Group 2, who received information before the sensomotor test that the test will be easy, made significantly more errors and spent more time with erring. Using the Kruskall-Wallis test, a statistically significant difference between the groups was found in the number of errors (p = 0.0012) and the time spent with
erring (p = 0.0008). These results suggest that if the subjects have information that sensomotor tasks
are difficult, they will achieve optimal performance.
