At present, there is still controversy about the guidance hypothesis, with some works supporting it and others contradicting it. To shed light on this topic, an experiment was conducted with four groups, each with different feedback frequencies (0%, 33%, 67%, and 100%), which were evaluated three times (pre-test, post-test, and retention) during a postural control task. In addition, we tested whether there was a transfer in performance to another similar task involving postural control. As a result, only the 67% feedback group showed an improvement in their task performance in the post-test and retention evaluations. Nevertheless, neither group showed differences in motor transfer performance compared to another postural control task. In conclusion, the findings of this paper corroborate the hypothesis of guidance and suggest that the use of a reduced frequency of 67% is a better option for improving motor learning than options that offer feedback at a lower frequency, at all trials or not at all.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24051404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,22]],"date-time":"2024-02-22T03:30:26Z","timestamp":1708572626000},"page":"1404","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effect of Reduced Feedback Frequencies on Motor Learning in a Postural Control Task in Young Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2999-9386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adri\u00e0","family":"Marco-Ahull\u00f3","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Neuropsicobiolog\u00eda, Metodolog\u00eda y Psicolog\u00eda Social, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia \u201cSan Vicente M\u00e1rtir\u201d, 46001 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2831-1033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Israel","family":"Villarrasa-Sapi\u00f1a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament d\u2019Educaci\u00f3 F\u00edsica i Esportiva, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46010 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0876-8845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Romero-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament de Did\u00e0ctica de l\u2019Educaci\u00f3 F\u00edsica, Art\u00edstica i M\u00fasica, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46022 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8275-2238","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gonzalo","family":"Monfort-Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament de Did\u00e0ctica de l\u2019Educaci\u00f3 F\u00edsica, Art\u00edstica i M\u00fasica, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46022 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"},{"name":"Unidad de Educaci\u00f3n, Florida Universitaria, 46470 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8951-2616","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose Luis","family":"Toca-Herrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biophysics, Department of Nanobiotechnology, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, 1180 Vienna, Austria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5925-4537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xavier","family":"Garc\u00eda-Mass\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament de Did\u00e0ctica de l\u2019Educaci\u00f3 F\u00edsica, Art\u00edstica i M\u00fasica, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46022 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.3758\/s13423-012-0333-8","article-title":"Augmented Visual, Auditory, Haptic, and Multimodal Feedback in Motor Learning: A Review","volume":"20","author":"Sigrist","year":"2013","journal-title":"Psychon.
