The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different success criteria on motor learning in children. Forty-eight children threw soft-golf balls toward a circular target using their nondominant arm. On Day 1, they performed six blocks of 12 trials from 5.5 m. On Day 3, they performed a 12-trial retention test followed by a 12-trial transfer test. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: difficult criteria for success, relatively easy criteria for success (RES), easy criteria for success, and control. Results demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the RES and control groups in their throwing accuracy on the retention and transfer tests, and the RES group had the highest score compared with the other two groups. This research suggests that providing relatively easy criteria facilitates motor skill acquisition in children.

本研究的目的是检验不同成功标准对儿童运动学习的影响。四十八名儿童用他们的非惯用手臂将软高尔夫球扔向一个圆形目标。在第 1 天，他们从 5.5 m 高度进行了 6 组 12 次试验。在第 3 天，他们进行了 12 次试验保留测试，然后进行了 12 次试验转移测试。参与者被随机分配到四组中的一组：困难的成功标准、相对简单的成功标准 (RES)、简单的成功标准和控制组。结果表明，RES 组和对照组在保持和转移测试中的投掷准确度存在显着差异，RES 组与其他两组相比得分最高。
