Current investigations in behavior analysis and physical activities suggests the effectiveness of specific techniques such as goal setting and feedback which aim for improvements in performance, skill acquisition and performance generalization from practice to competitive settings. Nonetheless, the literature presents a scarcity of studies analyzing the effects of public posting on the performance of tactical behaviors. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of an intervention package consisting of goal-setting and public posting and its effects on the generalization of performance of three 7th grade female basketball players of different skill levels from a lower middle-class middle school in the Midwest USA. This study intended to add to the literature by analyzing the effects of feedback strategies of the individual performances in a youth team sport and the outcomes of the correct performance. Additionally, the feedback provided by the coach was considered in the analysis which aimed to observe the effects of the intervention on variables that focus on the tactics instead of just skill. Thus, the concept of positioning (offensive, defensive, and rebound) on the basketball court was used as the dependent variables for the investigation. The intervention was introduced sequentially for the target participants according to a multiple baseline across behaviors, followed by fading and maintenance phases. Finally, the study investigated possible carryover effects of the intervention package on the performances of three other members of the team, whose performances were not subjected to the independent variable initially. At a later part of the investigation, these participants were then subjected directly to the intervention. The results show an apparent immediate positive effect of the intervention on three positioning behaviors. Both targeted and non-targeted participants had their best performances while directly exposed to the intervention package. Skill level was a crucial variable for potential carryover and generalization of the differential effects of the intervention. The data for higher skilled players initially not exposed to the intervention increased as the data of other participants were displayed. The game data followed similar patterns to the practice data, but additional game data is suggested for further conclusions about generalization effects.
