This study examined the effects of three computer-assisted cuing programs on the observational learning of a Tai Chi action sequence by thirty-one novice adult learners. Digital video demonstrations with visual cues, verbal cues, and both visual and verbal cues as well as no cues were presented. On the first and fifth trial participants completed a cognitive resequencing task, and on each of five learning trials attempted to physically perform the sequence. A retention test was also administered. The Pictorial Cognitive Resequencing Task results were somewhat equivocal as some of the treatment programs facilitated enhanced performance but participants in the "control" group also improved their performance. Physical performance as measured by the Technical Action Score and the Flow Action Score showed that the "visual and verbal treatment" group significantly improved performance in comparison to the "control" group. Based on the results and post-test interviews suggestions for future research were presented.
