Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of different verbal cues during observational learning of a soccer kick. Methods: The to-be-learned task was an inside-of-the-foot soccer accuracy pass. Thirty female participants were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups according to the type of verbals cues combined with an expert model video; 1) discovery learning, 2) attention-focusing cue, 3) error-correcting cue. All participants practiced 10 trials without any information during a practice phase and 40 trials with treatments during an acquisition phase. A retention test was administered 24 h after acquisition. Results: The effect of observational learning was evaluated by kicking form, absolute error(AE), variable error(VE). The results revealed that two verbal cue groups displayed better kicking form than the discovery learning group during the retention test. The error-correcting cue group revealed better learning effect than attention-focusing cue group. However, for AE and VE the two verbal cue groups did not show a significant difference and the learning benefit relative to the discovery learning group. Conclusion: The results suggest that error-correcting cue is more effective during observational learning than the attention-focusing cue. The error-correcting cue facilitates attentional and retentional subprocesses. In addition, it facilitates the search for a task-appropriate coordination solution.
