Abstract
Background & Purpose: The acquisition of motor skills in mentally retarded children is slow. Therefore, it is
important to identify efficient and effective methods for teaching motor skills to these people in order to acquire
and improve the implementation of motor skills. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the
effect of variable training with different arrangements on the consolidation (based on improvement) of the motor
memory of mentally retarded children.
Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 56 mentally retarded girls were placed in four groups of fixed training
and variable training with blocked, random, and blocked-random arrangements based on the pre-test scores.
On the first day, the subjects practiced the basketball pass in 3 blocks of 12 attempts based on the training
method of their group. At the end of the training session, the subjects immediately participated in the acquisition
test, consisting of a block of 12 target throwing attempts. In the morning of the second day, after a night's sleep, a
memory test similar to the acquisition test was performed. For data analysis, a mixed analysis of variance (2x4),
a dependent t test, and a one-way analysis of variance were used.
Results: The results of the present study showed that before and after night sleep, there is a statistically
significant difference in the passing accuracy scores of the two groups of random variable training and blockedrandom
variable training. However, no difference was seen between the performance of the two groups of
random and blocked-random training after night sleep.
Conclusion: Therefore, in mentally retarded children, the method of variable training with random and blockedrandom
arrangements can be used to improve the consolidation of motor memory.
