A Study on Organization of Perceptual-Motor Behaviors in Volley-Ball

Abstract

It may be supposed that perceptual-motor behavior in motor learning could develop into organic motor behavior, if the information of motor skill would be organized into a serial information in order. The present experiment has been carried out to test our serial organization of its motor skills and verbal instruction about them by applying them tentatively in the actual volley-ball classes. The results are as follows: 1. Each student in the class could acquire relatively easily the organization of the components of "Receive-Toss-Attack from two ways", by mastering the serial order of Receive-Toss behavior. It may be safely said that, acquired by this method, the rate of retention of serial behavior of each student is high, and the quantity of his memory of the information of motor skill could increase. 2. On the other hand, in case that any students could not sufficiently master the serial order of Receive-Toss behavior, they could not easily perform "Receive-Toss-Attack from two ways". But it has been found out that "Receive-Toss-Attack from two ways" could be performed successfully, if the ball were tossed nearby the net, and moreover the ball tossed were higher than the height of the net.
