Anxiety, Stress and Motor Learning

Abstract: The interactive effects of stress and anxiety upon motor learning were examined. 120 Ss (60 high-anxious and 60 low-anxious) were divided into three groups: Control, Stress Early and Stress Late. All groups were given 35 20-sec. trials a day for a period of 2 days on the stabilometer. An electric shock was administered to the two experimental groups early or late in learning. The shock stressor had no effect upon the amount learned in any experimental groups. The results were discussed in relation to drive the… Show more

“…The majority of the studies on stress and motor learning have used conditioning paradigms in which anxiety-inducing or stressful stimuli (e.g., electric shocks, negative feedback) were associated with task performance. Overall, these studies show that stress-related arousal during task performance is beneficial for motor performance and learning (e.g., Lawrence et al, 2014;Marteniuk et al, 1970;Oudejans et al, 2009;Sage et al, 1973) (but see Calvo, Alamo, & Ramos, 1990;Carron & Morford, 1968 for no effect on motor learning). These results are in line with evidence of improved motor memory retention when the material to learn is tagged as relevant during initial learning (e.g.…”

“…Негативний вплив стресових факторів на психічне здоров'я особистості активно вивчають зарубіжні учені. Так, аналізуючи психосоматичні прояви, які виникають внаслідок тривалого переживання особистістю стресових ситуацій, А. Каррон та В. Морфорд вказують на негативний вплив дистресу, що призводить до зниження продуктивності діяльності осоистості [9]. Розвиток стресостійкості розглядається як необхідна передумова збереження психічного і психологічного здоров'я, зокрема враховуючи те, що сучасна людина досить часто піддається різним стресогенними впливами [10].…”

“…Will learning take place in fewer trials when feedback is given by aversive or rewarding methods? Carron and Morford (1968) found that shock as a stressor had no effect on the amount learned by humans.…”
