The present paper describes repeated errors in complex motor coordination tasks and the effect of irrelevant
stimulus features on such repeated errors. Participants were presented with a video of dance movements which they had to
repeat synchronously with a videotaped presenter. The same set of eight easy movements was repeated 20 times, with a break
after the first 10 repetitions. In the first experimental group, there was a change of presenter on the video (from female to male
or vice versa) after the break. In the second experimental group, a color effect was used (highlighting the presenter) after the
break. The control group continued the task without any changes. We compared the number of repeated errors within groups
on different parts of the experiment and between groups. It was shown that in all groups there were fewer repeated errors after
the break. There were no differences in the frequency of repeated errors between groups before the break. After the break,
there were fewer repeated errors in the experimental groups than in the control group. Thus, it appears that the change of
irrelevant features led to decreased error repetition.
