04a. Skill Acquisition Flashcards
Describe Gross Motor Skills using an example
Recruiting large muscle groups with less emphasis on precision, e.g. running
Describe Fine Motor Skills using an example
Recruiting smaller muscles for precision movements e.g. the finger and hand movement in darts.
Describe Discrete motor skills using an example
Clear beginning and end, e.g. a netball pass
Describe Continuous motor skills using an example
No definite beginning or end, e.g. running.
Describe Serial motor skills using an example
When several discrete skills are performed in a sequence, e.g. a gymnastics floor routine.
Describe Closed motor skills using an example
internally paced, limited inter trial variability and predictable environment.
Describe Open motor skills using an example
externally paced, large inter trial variability and unpredictable environment.
Describe the cognitive stage of learning
Learner makes large and frequent errors, attention is focused on thinking through each movement, cant correct errors yet
Describe the associative stage of learning
Beginning to associate the activity with the environment, fewer errors, beginning to fix own mistakes
Describe the autonomous stage of learning
Performance is automatic, can focus on tactics and correct own errors.
What type of skill involves recruiting large muscle groups with less emphasis on precision, e.g. running
Gross Motor Skills
What type of skill involves recruiting smaller muscles for precision movements e.g. the finger and hand movement in darts.
Fine Motor Skills
What type of skill has a clear beginning and end, e.g. a netball pass
Discrete motor skills
What type of skill has no definite beginning or end, e.g. running.
Continuous motor skills
What type of skill has several discrete skills are performed in a sequence, e.g. a gymnastics floor routine.
Serial motor skills
What type of skill are internally paced, have limited inter trial variability and predictable environment.
Closed motor skills
What type of skill is externally paced, has large inter trial variability and unpredictable environment.
Open motor skills
What stage of learning makes large and frequent errors, attention is focused on thinking through each movement, cant correct errors yet
cognitive stage of learning
What stage of learning is beginning to associate the activity with the environment, fewer errors, beginning to fix own mistakes
associative stage of learning
What stage of learning is when performance is automatic, can focus on tactics and correct own errors.
autonomous stage of learning
What is meant by internally paced?
The athlete has control over the timing of movement
What is meant by externally paced?
The athlete has little control over the timing of movement and must react to other variables
Is it internally or externally paced when the athlete has control over the timing of movement
internally paced
Is is internally or externally paced when the athlete has little control over the timing of movement and must react to other variables
externally paced
Is it high or limited inter trial variability when each repetition of the skill is similar
limited inter trial variability
Is it high or limited inter trial variability when each repetition of the skill changes
high inter trial variability
What is limited inter trial variability
When each repetition of the skill is similar
What is high inter trial variability
When each repetition of the skill changes
