Abstract
28 women and 28 men threw a paddleball at a target in 4 conditions of noise and quiet, being given 150 trials on 2 days. Analysis of absolut e constant error and total error indicated the encoding-specificity hy pothesis was not supported and no transfer was noted across conditions , perhaps because the noise was not demanding enough.
