The purpose of present study was to investigate the influence of inhibition theory as well as positive transfer on timing task because both inhibition and transfer occurred in similar situation. The task consisted of pressing three buttons by required format and timing interval. Eighty subjects were divided into four groups and performed different conditions of interference: 1) same motor pattern with same relative timing (SMPSRT), 2) same motor pattern with different relative timing (SMPDRT), 3) different motor pattern with same relative timing (DMPSRT), and 4) different motor pattern with different relative timing (DMPDRT). AE and VE were calculated from the raw data(CE) for examining the degree of forgetting.
In acquisition, no significant group different was found and indicated that there were no difficulty differences among interference tasks. In retention, SMPSRT performed more accurately and consistently than SMPDRT. The results indicated that a learning of timing movement inhibited by a different relative timing practice in condition of same motor pattern rather than that of different motor pattern.
