Introduction: This research aimed to investigate the effect of physical training and selective and compulsory observational pattern on the intrinsic motivation and cognitive learning of basketball jump shot skill with the approach of basic psychological demands.Methods: Eighty male students (18-22 years old) were selected voluntarily and based on their pre-test scores, were randomly divided into four Self-Control, Paired, Experimenter-Control, and Control groups (20 people in each group). To examine the motivation level, the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), and to examine the cognitive learning level, Recall Questionnaire (adapted from Knudson, 1993) was used. An educational video of the expert model that showed the movement components was presented to the participants. A retention test was conducted 24 hours later. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the data (p≥0.05).Results: The results showed that in the acquisition phase, the level of intrinsic motivation of the participants to learn the basketball jump shot skill in the Self-Control observation condition was significantly higher than the participants in the Paired and Control conditions. Also, in the retention phase, the level of intrinsic motivation in the Self-Control observation condition was significantly higher than in other experimental conditions. In addition, in the acquisition and retention phases of cognitive learning (recall success), the participants in the Self-Control observation condition scored significantly higher than the participants in the Paired and Control conditions.Conclusion: In general, the results of this study show that motivation affects learning. Also, task demonstration as a whole-part-whole is an effective and efficient method in the cognitive phase.

Although many researches have investigated the benefits of music in sport, few researches have studied the effect of music on movement recall. Thus, this study aimed to identify the effect of motivational music on information recall during the performance of a wrestling skill sequence. 24 male athletes (mean age 21.6±0.9 yr, height 176.4±6.1 cm and weight 67.5±8.4) were trained in 30 skills of free style wrestling during 8 weeks (2 sessions/week, 100min/session) in the acquisition phase. After 5 days of acquisition, a list of 10 skills with (1-3-2-3-1) chunk based on serial coded recall procedures were presented to the subjects and they were asked to recall and perform the list after 2 minutes. The subjects’ scores of performance were evaluated based on the main list and a score was allocated to performance sequence. Then, subjects were divided into two groups randomly. In posttest, another list was presented to the groups with the similar chunk but the only difference was that experimental group had music (BMRI form selected by subjects, MP3, 192 , tempo>120, volume 50% max of player system) concurrently with their performance. Data were analyzed by t student tests (dependent and paired and α=0.05). Findings showed that experimental group achieved higher scores in recall phase of freestyle wrestling techniques than the control group (p=0.007).It can be concluded that music as a motivational factor in recalling skill sequences can influence the performance of wrestling techniques when
