Motor Learning Through Observation
Abstract
Motor skill acquisition typically involves the transfer of information between instructor and learner. A common method of transfer is demonstration. Observational learning is the term for the process by which observers watch the behavior of a model and adapt their movement as a result, typically as

Observational learning-watching another performer demonstrate a goal movement-is a commonly used and effective way of learning motor skills.
“Observational learning, that is, watching another performer demonstrate a goal movement, is a commonly used and effective way of learning motor skills (for reviews, see Maslovat, Hayes, Horn, & Hodges, 2010;Ong & Hodges, 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
