The use of reinforcement to link correct responses to a stimulus

108
Q

What are the main characteristics of operant conditioning?

A
  • based on trial and error
  • coach can manipulate environment
  • shapes behaviour
109
Q

A

To link the appropriate response to the stimulus so the correct action can be learned

111
Q

What is positive reinforcement?

A

Giving a pleasant stimulus to increase the likelihood of the correct response happening again

112
Q

What is an example of positive reinforcement?

A

A certificate

113
Q

What affect does positive reinforcement on the S-R bond?

A

It strengthens the correct one

114
Q

What is negative reinforcement?

A

Q

What is the motor production stage of observational learning?

A
  • performer must be physically and mentally able to reproduce the skill
  • important that the skill is within the ability of the learner
127
Q

What is the motivation stage of observational learning?

A
  • performer must have a drive to copy the demonstration

162
Q

What is the memory system?

A

An integral part of processing information that is a series of memory stores that stores and transfers information

163
Q

What are the key components of the Working Memory Model?

A
  • central executive
  • phonological loop
  • episodic buffer
  • visuospatial sketchpad
  • long term memory
164
Q

What is the phonological loop?

A
  • processes auditory information such as call from team mates
  • consists of the phonological store and articulatory system that produce a memory trace (initial mental idea of skill)
  • memory trace sent to LTM
165
Q

What is the visuospatial sketchpad?

A
  • processes visual and spatial information
  • consists of visual cache and inner scribe
166
Q

What is the episodic buffer?

A
  • coordinate information from phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad
  • starting point for motor programmes
167
Q

How do the working memory and long term memory interact?

A

WM picks up relevant information from display and creates a memory trace that is sent to LTM and compared to motor programmes

168
Q

What are the features of the working memory?

A
  • capacity of 7 items
  • duration of 30 seconds
169
Q

What are the features of the long term memory?

A
  • permanent duration
  • large capacity
170
Q

How do you ensure effective storage in the LTM?

A
  • rewards (motivation)
  • association with emotions/past experiences
  • mental practise
  • chunking (prevent overload)
  • focus (selective attention)
  • rehearsal (ensures motor programmes)
  • chaining (linking moves to recall them as a sequence)
171
Q

What is the memory tool to remember strategies to effectively store information in the LTM?

A

Males And Females Can Run Charity Races
(mental practise, association, focus, chunking, rewards, chaining, rehearsal)

172
Q

What is schema theory?

A

Performers store schemas as generalised motor programmes that can be adapted and retrieved based on on display

173
Q

What are the parameters of a schema?

A

The ways in which you adapt a motor programme to ensure the schema is effective

174
Q

What are the 2 stages in the parameters of a schema?

A

Recall schema and Recognition schema

175
Q

What are the 2 stages of recall schemas?

A

Initial conditions and response specifications

176
Q

What is a recall schema?

A

Stores information about and initiates movement

177
Q

What are the initial conditions in the recall schema?

A

Gathering information about whether they have been in that position before

178
Q

What are the response specifications of the recall schema?

A

Based on the initial conditions the performer makes a decision on what movement to do

179
Q

What are the 2 stages of a recognition schema?

A

Sensory consequences and Response outcomes

180
Q

What are the sensory consequences in the recognition schema?

A

Gathering information about the movement and using kinesthesis getting intrinsic feedback

Gathering information about the result of the movement and whether it was successful

182
Q

How do you effectively develop schemas?

A
  • ensure varied practice
  • ensure transferable skill developed
  • constant feedback
  • lots of praise and positive reinforcement
  • ensure a large range of skills are well learnt
183
Q

What is response time?

A

Total time from onset of stimulus to end of movement
Reaction time + movement time

184
Q

What is movement time?

A

Time take from onset of movement to finishing the task

185
Q

What is reaction time?

A

Time from onset of stimulus to start of movement

186
Q

What is simple reaction time?

A

Time taken to react when there is one specific response to one stimulus

187
Q

What is choice reaction time?

A

Time taken to react when there is numerous stimuli to react to

188
Q

What is Hick’s Law?

A

The more choices you have the longer reaction time will be but isn’t linear as the environment gets more familiar so there are less new choices

189
Q

What is the single channel hypothesis?

A

Stimuli can only be processed one at a time is following stimuli must wait which increases reaction time

190
Q

What is the psychological refractory period?

A

The delay that occurs as a second stimulus arrives while we are processing the first one which can be seen as freezing

191
Q

What is anticipation?

A

When the performer prejudges a stimulus

192
Q

What is temporal anticipation?

A

Prejudging when a stimulus will happen

193
Q

What is spatial anticipation?

A

Prejudging where and what the stimulus will be

194
Q

What is the effect of correct anticipation?

A

Better reaction time as information processing is sped up

195
Q

How do you improve response time?

A
  • mental practice (actions can be predicted)
  • specify training (train expected stimuli)
  • increasing focus (asking it clear what are the relevant stimuli)
  • improving fitness (improves movement time)
  • research (on opposition to help anticipation)
