The purpose of this thesis was to explore whether increased frequency of exposure to the perceptual demands of a coincident-timing task (perceptual modeling) prior to actively practicing the motor component of the task would result in increased timing accuracy on initiation of practice. Increased accuracy following a high frequency of modeling would presumably be due to an enhanced cognitive representation for the skill.Forty-four subjects were randomly assigned to one of four different groups: a control group receiving no perceptual modeling, a group receiving one chance to experience the perceptual demands of the task prior to active practice (perceptual modeling), a group receiving five chances, or a group receiving ten chances.Results indicated that perceptual modeling at any frequency enhanced the accuracy of the cognitive representation and decreased timing errors, as each perceptual modeling group differed significantly from the control group. However, none of the groups receiving modeling differed significantly from any other. Thus, increased frequency of exposure was not superior to limited exposure for this particular task.
