4.5 Stages of learning Flashcards
What is the second stage of learning?
associative stage
Define the associative stage?
- where performer is learning how to perform the skill well and how to adapt skill
- performer attempts to translate knowledge into performance.
What are the types of feedback for associative stage?
- intrinsic feedback
- positive and negative feedback
- extrinsic feedback
What is intrinsic feedback?
the physical feel of the movement as it is being performed
What is entrinsic feeback?
feedback from outside the performer
Types of practise for associative stage?
- part practise
- progressive part practise
- massed practise (set shot in basketball)
Characteristics of associative stage?
- fewer errors
- motor program development
- anticipation
- monitors own feedback
What should a coach do for associative stage?
- correct feedback
- stress correct fundamentals
- accommodate differences in skill development
- lots of practise opportunity
Practical examples of associative stage?
- tackling in rugby (put knowledge into practise)
- back flip in gymnastics ( putting skill together)
What is the third stage of learning?
autonomous stage
Define autonomous stage?
performer does not have to think about skill they are performing , focus on environment around them.
- performer has mastered skill
characteristics of autonomous stage?
- perform with consistancy and accuracy
- adapt performance to environment
- very few mistakes
- trains often
- high performance level
What does performance of autonomous skill look like?
- athelte doesnt focus on actual skill but the factors their skill will impact (specifics - where to place a ball)
What type of feedback is used in autonomous stage?
- negative feedback ( refine performance)
- intrinsic feedback to refine and master skills
How is a coached used in the autonomous stage?
- use complex video analysis to help performance
- pick up on errors
What do athletes start to develop in the associative stage?
kineasthesis
What must an autonomous skill consistently be done?
thought about and practised
What is the first stage of learning?
cognitive stage
What is the cognitive stage?
The cognitive stage is the beginning stage. The performer is inconsistent and makes many mistakes as they learn a new skill.
What happens in the brain at the cognitive stage?
- new links are created in order to allow the player to repeat and perform new skills
- Extended practice builds new synaptic connectivity that leads directly to the development of new patterns of activity that enable new abilities.
- The process for humans to master a new skill also involves the generation of new neural activity patterns which allows the skill to be remembered and repeated
What does performance look like at the cognitive stage?
- slow
- jerky
- robotic
- lots of errors
WHat are the coaching points for the cognitive stage?
- correct performance must be reinforced
- demonstration and repetition is key
- positive feedback to encourage learners
WHat type of practise should be used for cognitive stage?
whole part whole
