distance characteristics of movement. the initial research studies investigating this issue found that movement ead-point location is remembered better than movement distance. however, an important finding by Diewert and Roy showed the when movement ead-point location information is relatively reliable recall cue, people will use a location-type strategy to recall the movement. However, when location information is totally unreliable and only distance information will aid recall, people will use some nonkinesthetic strategy, such as counting, to help remember the distance of the criterion movement. Interestingly, spontaneous use of this dual strategy to aid the remembering of location and distance information has been demonstrated only in children older than nine years of age (Thomas et al., 1983).
