Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to demonstrate through a comparative approach that in the process of motor skills training, the classical methods of information transmission, explanation, and demonstration are not enough to form a correct and complete mental representation of the movement. The paper focuses on the necessity of using all the specific communication channels, including all the possible means of encoding information during the process of acquiring motor abilities, in order to improve the motor learning process. The more the mental image of the movement to study is built on more types of information according to the simultaneous usage of communication channels, the more it will be clearer, complete and in more detail. Using more methods of encoding the same message (a learning system feature), the brain is forced to process different types of information, creating connections and associations. The simultaneous transmission of information across all specific communication channels based on multiple encoding complements the representation of the movement with various types of information and substantially increases the chances of obtaining positive feedback represented by a correct execution of the movement from the first exercises used. In this context, we want to demonstrate that sensations induced by the teacher in the areas of the body responsible for the correct execution of movement through specific techniques and awareness of sensations kinaesthetic are a prerequisite for correct movement, especially in the area of self-regulation and self-correcting.
