“…showed that the analogy group performed better at the start of practice compared to the explicit instruction group, but this difference disappeared at retention. Chatzopoulos et al (2020) only showed better performance for the analogy learning group on the retention test for balancing, but not for the other skills. Neither of the studies checked if the intended intervention was realized.…”

“…The few studies that do include a process-oriented measure also show similar, or even more, improvements in the implicit groups compared to the explicit groups, suggesting that movement form and accuracy may improve simultaneously (Capio, Poolton, Sit, Eguia et al, 2013;Capio, Poolton, Sit, Holmstrom et al, 2013;Petranek et al, 2019;Wulf et al, 2010). In addition, results from balancing tasks (Becker & Smith, 2013;Chatzopoulos et al, 2020;Flores et al, 2015) and jumping tasks (Chatzopoulos et al, 2020;Chow et al, 2014) do not differ from the aiming tasks, suggesting that methods can be applied to different types of complex motor tasks.…”

“…Two studies examined the effect of analogy learning on complex motor skills in children (Chatzopoulos et al, 2020;. Chatzopoulos et al (2020) performed the study at a preschool, with practice for the entire class. In the study of the acquisition phase was performed individually in a public park.…”

“…In the analogy learning group two of those were replaced by an metaphor. In the study of Chatzopoulos et al (2020) children received either four explicit instructions or one analogy instruction at the start of practice of a specific skill. showed that the analogy group performed better at the start of practice compared to the explicit instruction group, but this difference disappeared at retention.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the current state of evidence and methodological quality of studies on implicit and explicit motor learning in both typically developing children and children with developmental disorders. A systematic literature review was conducted on the experimental literature published up to April 2020. A total of 25 studies were included. Studies were evaluated on methodological quality, paradigm used, and level of evidence. The results showed that implicit paradigms are as effective as explicit paradigms in both groups of children. Studies are predominantly experimental in nature involving mostly upper limb aiming tasks. The few studies that were performed outside the lab (n = 5) suggest superior efficacy of the implicit paradigm. Methodological quality varied between studies and was not always of sufficient standard to allow conclusions. In particular, manipulation checks were only performed in 13 studies (52% of all studies), limiting conclusions. Further progress can be made by focussing on improving methodological quality through retention testing by the inclusion of a control group, by the inclusion of a manipulation check, and via assessment of relevant co-variables, such as working memory, age, and motor competence.
