Abstract
Abstract Six different groups of ten male university students were each given a one-minute speed test-retest on a three-hole stylus punchboard. To compare the effects of visual, motor, mental, and guided practice upon the speed and accuracy of the performance of a simple eye-hand coordination task, five groups received different types of practice between the tests. One group acted as a control and read between tests. The control, motor practice, and reversed-visual practice groups significantly improved performance in terms of correct hits and the total number of trials; they did not, however, reduce their number of errors. The visual and mental practice groups reduced their total number of errors and also increased their performance significantly in terms of correct hits and total number of trials. It was concluded that visual practice and mental practice improved accuracy on a punchboard learning task, whereas motor practice and guided practice did not.
