Abstract

Missing data incidents are common in experimental studies of motor learning and development. Inadequate handling of missing data may lead to serious problems, such as addition of bias, reduction in power, and so on. Thus, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the past (2007) and present (2017) practices used for reporting and analyzing missing data in motor learning and development. For this purpose, the authors reviewed 309 articles from five journals focusing on motor learning and development studies and published in 2007 and 2017. The authors carefully reviewed each article using a six-stage review process to assess the reporting and analyzing practices. Reporting of missing data along with reasons for their presence was consistently high across time, which slightly increased in 2017. Researchers predominantly used older methods (mainly deletion) for analysis, which only showed a small increase in the use of newer methods in 2017. While reporting practices were exemplary, missing data analysis calls for serious attention. Improvements in missing data handling may have the merit to address some of the major issues, such as underpowered studies, in motor learning and development.
缺失的数据报告和分析在运动学习和发展:一个系统的回顾过去和现在的做法
缺失数据事件在运动学习和发展的实验研究中很常见。对丢失的数据处理不当可能会导致严重的问题,如增加偏置、降低功率等。因此,本研究旨在对过去(2007年)和现在(2017年)用于报告和分析运动学习和发展中缺失数据的实践进行系统回顾。为此,作者回顾了2007年和2017年发表的5种期刊上关于运动学习和发展研究的309篇文章。作者使用六阶段审查过程仔细审查了每篇文章,以评估报告和分析实践。随着时间的推移,丢失数据的报告及其存在的原因一直很高,2017年略有增加。研究人员主要使用旧的方法(主要是删除)进行分析,2017年新方法的使用仅略有增加。虽然报告做法堪称典范,但缺失的数据分析需要引起认真关注。缺失数据处理的改进可能有助于解决运动学习和发展中的一些主要问题,例如动力不足的研究。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Motor Learning and Development (JMLD) publishes peer-reviewed research that advances the understanding of movement skill acquisition and expression across the lifespan. JMLD aims to provide a platform for theoretical, translational, applied, and innovative research related to factors that influence the learning or re-learning of skills in individuals with various movement-relevant abilities and disabilities.
