A study was designed to evaluate the effects of anticipating the matching response on acquisition and transfer of a second-order matching-to-sample task. 40 college students of both sexes were assigned to different anticipation procedures that involved several verbal descriptions of the correct response, as well as others not involving explicit descriptions. All subjects were exposed to a pretest, two training blocks, two transfer test blocks, and a posttest. Anticipation procedures were evaluated during the first training block using an observational training procedure, except for 8 subjects, who were exposed to two training control procedures. Analysis showed acquisition and transfer of successful matching seems to depend on a verbal discrimination of the matching criterion exemplified by second-order stimuli. This discrimination was facilitated by prior conditions, as when subjects showed correct matching performance at pretest or was established with anticipation procedures that required explicit reading of verbal descriptions of the response choice.

Modern equipment based on computer technology can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of control procedures for physical fitness and technical performance of long jumpers. The study focuses on the development of control methods for technical performance and physical fitness of athletes-jumpers on the basis of «OptoJump Next» innovative measurement system. The purpose – to test the efficiency of modern technologies for assessing technical performance and physical fitness of athletes-jumpers employing biomechanics control system. Methods and organization of research. The main method of research is to assess the technical performance and physical fitness of athletes-jumpers using the "Optojump Next" measuring system, video recording and photodiode chronometry of the run-up speed (the "Brower" system). The survey took place at the track and field arena of the Novogorsk sport center (Moscow region), as well as at the stadium of ‘Iug-Sport’ sport center, Sochi in 2016-2018. The study involved 15 qualified long jumpers (Candidates Master of Sports – Masters of Sports of International Class). Results of the study and their discussion. The obtained results of the study enable identification of the model characteristics of the Special physical training control tests of qualified long jumpers in the range of results from 7.25 to 8.25 m. We have also developed model characteristics of technical performance for male jumpers in the range of results from 6.60 to 7.80 m. We used the chart of technical performance for jumpers (Master of Sports E. A-va) to reveal the lagging indicators of special sprint fitness: speed on the 5th step away from the bar; speed on the 4th step away from the bar; speed on the 3rd step away from the bar; pace of running step on the 3rd step away from the bar; average speed on the 3rd – 4th steps away from the bar; average speed on the 1st – 2nd steps away from the bar; average tempo activity of running steps. Conclusion. The results obtained enable identification of lagging and strong points of technical performance and physical fitness of qualified jumpers, and consequently, adjustment of training program for the upcoming training cycle.

Matching Performance

This research was designed to assess whether experienced copier users prefer and are able to match keywords, in-use industry symbols, and new subject-generated symbols as designators of 16 photocopier functions. Previous research with inexperienced users had shown that words and newly generated symbols were more effective than in-use symbols as designators of most copier functions. In the present study, in Exp. 1 a preference measure was obtained from 38 experienced copier users for one of five different representations for 16 photocopier functions including: generated symbols, industry symbols, generated symbols with word(s), industry symbols with word(s), and word(s) only. In Exp. 2, 42 experienced photocopier users were asked to match keywords, generated symbols, and industry symbols with verbal descriptions of 16 copier functions. Analysis shows that experienced users prefer word-symbol combinations. Also, both subject-generated symbols and keywords lead to superior matching performance over industry symbols for most copier tasks. Interestingly, generated symbols and keywords did not differ significantly from each other over-all.

Procedural Instructions

Ten aphasics were compared with ten control subjects on their ability to discriminate between visually-presented words. Three variables were systematically varied: (1) word length, (2) word frequency, and (3) word similarity. The task was a simple ‘matching-to-sample’ experimental situation, where Ss were required to push one of two buttons. A special pre-training procedure was employed which made it possible to include even very severely impaired aphasics who would normally be excluded from such experiments due to their inability to follow procedural instructions. The two dependent variables were (1) errors, and (2) response latency. The two groups did not show a significant difference on number of errors, but were significantly different on response latency.
