In experiments concerning the learning of motor skills, participants were given the option to self-control some aspects of the practice situation, e.g. the frequen-cy of feedback (self-controlled learning). The results show that self-controlled learning enhances performance on a long-term basis. The aim of the present study was to examine wether learners prefer certain practice conditions for self-control, at first in a hypothetical practice situation. Participant`s task was to imagine that they had to learn the forehand topspin stroke in table tennis. The practice situation was described exactly. Then, participants indicated on a questionnaire which practice conditions they would prefer for self-control and which not. The results show that preferences regarding the self-control of practice conditions exist.
