When experience hinders leaving in a new situation

Question 3

Positive Transfer

Answer 3

Mastery of one task aid learning or performing another

Question 4

Positive acceleration rate

Answer 4

Indicates slight performance gains initially then rapid improvements in performance (ie the task took a long time to learn)

Question 5

Negative acceleration rate

Answer 5

Indicates rapid initial improvements then lesser gains from practice (learning slowed)

Question 6

Learning plateau

Answer 6

This learning curve indicates little learning is taking place

Question 7

Affects your rate of learning

Answer 7

Affects include: physical maturation, physical fitness, individual difference of coaches, age, difficulty of task, teaching environment and motivation

Question 8

Linear acceleration rate

Answer 8

As practice increases, so does performance in a proportional relationship

Question 9

Learning curve

Answer 9

A graph of the changes in behavior that occur over the course of leaning

Question 10

Part practice

Answer 10

Practice various parts of a complex skill and then integrating these together, serial, divide skill into meaningful parts and practice separately

Question 11

Whole-part-whole practice

Answer 11

Trying the whole skill, then isolating a part, practice this part and then putting the whole skill back together, for example practicing the triple jump then practicing a hop then practicing the skip etc finally putting the whole triple jump back together again

Question 12

Progressive practice

Answer 12

A teaching method where earlier independent actions change their form to progressively enhance and improve

Question 13

Motor program

Answer 13

A series of muscle contractions that form a movement. Agree practicing for a while it is stored in LTM

Question 14

Whole practice

Answer 14

Enhances motor program discrete skill, practice entire skill

Question 15

Autonomous stage/final phase

Answer 15

The stage of learning where the motor program is completely formed. Final stage of learning where movements are becoming almost automatic with very little conscious thought.

Question 16

Associative/motor/practice stage

Answer 16

Second stage of learning where the performer practices and compares or associates the movements produced with the mental image

Question 17

Reciprocal teaching

Answer 20

Students become evolved in decision making –> teacher still decides what is taught. Sessions structured in order that the objectives are clearly stated to learners. Lends itself to social interaction. Teachers give regular feedback and monitor progress.

Question 21

Problem solving approach teaching

Answer 21

Encourages students to be creative and develop their individual cognitive and performance processes. According to their different size, shapes, abilities and capabilities learners can approach problems set by their teacher individually.
