assessment 3 Flashcards
what is the cognitive stage
the initial learning of a new skill
what are three characteristics within the cognitive stage
mistakes
external feedback
developing a mental picture
cognitive stage:mistakes
This stage is characterised by lots of inconsistency in performance
cognitive stage: developing a mental picture
Visualising the execution of a skill
E.G. visualise how to do a layup before performing.
cognitive stage: external feedback
Athlete is not receiving any internal feedback
Ongoing, positive feedback comes from an external source e.g. coach
E.G. players may not realise they took 3 steps in a layup
what is the associative stage?
improving technique and skill execution
what are three characteristics within the associative stage
practice
internal f/back and kinaesthetic sense
less errors, less frequently
what are the three stages of skill aquisition
cognitive
associative
autonomous
associative stage : practice
o Repetition comes from working on technicalities e.g. timing, fluidity, sequencing
E.G. basketballer practicing and doing a layup over and over, and beginning to do it in game like situations e.g. with defenders and at a fast pace.
o Develops awareness of how to effectively do a skill
associative stage : internal feedback and kinaesthic sense
o Athlete starts to understand and improve the movement whilst doing it.
o Athlete begins to associate their movement with a positive or negative outcome.
E.G. the basketballer knows when they make a mistake – knowing they travelled
associative stage : less errors, less frequently
o Continual improvement means less mistakes
what is the autonomous stage
a high degree of accuracy and consistency
what are three characteristics within the autonomous stage
- skills come automatically
- redirecting focus
- internal feedback
autonomous stage : skills come automatically
o Athlete’s kinaesthetic sense is well developed and the skill comes as second nature
autonomous stage : redirecting focus
o Athlete’s able to attend to other cues while giving little thought to how perform the skill
o Training sessions mimic pressurised games and competitive situations
autonomous stage : internal feedback
o Athlete’s able to detect and correct most of their errors
o Feedback is almost entirely internal
o Coaches need to have a scientific understanding of the sport to help fix biomechanical errors
list the characteristics of a learner
personality heredity confidence prior experience ability
what is the acronym to remember the characteristics of a learner
CHEAP
characteristics of a learner: personality - c/f
Determines how we act in different situations e.. when learning a new skill
characteristics of a learner: what are types of personality that are fast learners?
confident personality
motivated personality
questioning personality
characteristics of a learner: why is a confident personality more likely to be a faster learner?
more willing to attempt new skills
characteristics of a learner: why is a motivated personality more likely to be a faster learner?
seek improvements, less distracted
characteristics of a learner: why is a questioning personality more likely to be a faster learner?
better understanding of the skill
characteristics of a learner: heredity c/f
Heredity is the genetic characteristics we inherit from our parents
characteristics of a learner:what in particular does heredity refer to
% of fast/slow twitch muscle fibres
characteristics of a learner: heredity e.g.
% of high twitch fibres improves shot put performance
characteristics of a learner: ``confidence c/f
Belief in own ability
characteristics of a learner: confident people are…?
Confident people are
- More likely to attempt new skills
- Less likely to be put off by experiencing early difficulty
characteristics of a learner: prior experience c/f
two different skills with similar movement patterns
characteristics of a learner: what are the two ways experience can transfer?
positive transfer of learning
negative transfer of learning
characteristics of a learner: what is positive transfer of learning
Learning new skills is easier and faster E.G. serving in tennis and over-arm serve in volleyball or passing skills in netball and basketball
characteristics of a learner: negative transfer of learning
More difficult to learn new skills (conscious though process). E.G. squash wrist actions vs. tennis arm swing
characteristics of a learner: ability c/f
Ease with which an individual is able to perform a skill
characteristics of a learner: subtopics of ability
muscle group coordination
fast reaction time
greater reaction sense
intelligence
list the types of nature of skills
open closed gross fine serial discrete continuous self-paced externally paced
what is a open environment skill?
A skill performed in a variable or unpredictable environment influenced by external factors.
what must an athlete do in an open environment
athletes need to modify their techniques or strategy to respond to the external environments
examples of the conditions in open environments
crowd watching
weather changing conditions
what is a closed environment skill?
A skill performed in a stable and predictable environment
what is an example of a closed environment skill
10 pin bowling - lane remains the same, no physical opposition, pins stay in the same place, not affected by weather
what are fine motor skills
skills that require the use of small muscle groups
e.g. of a fine motor sport
darts
putting
r/ship of fine motor sports
fine motor skills require a lot of control and precision
what are gross motor skills
skills that require the use of large muscle groups
r/ship of gross motor skills
easy to learn
gross motor skills are easy to develop and learned quickly from a young age
e.g. of gross motor sports
footy, running…
c/f of a discrete skill
have a clear start and finish
e.g of discrete skill
throwing a ball
c/f of a serial skill
series of smaller movements combined to make a skill
e.g. of a serial skill
basketball layup
run/dribble - pick up ball - take 2 steps - lift the ball with correct accuracy and force/shoot
c/f of a continuous skill
Repetitive and ongoing for a particular period of time.
e.g. of a continuous skill
going on a run
c/f performance elements
elements that develop as an athlete improves their skilled execution and ability
c/f decision making
The various decisions made by any athlete during a performance.
e.g. of decision making
• E.G. a basketballer would make decisions like where to pass the ball, who to pass a ball to and when are where to move to following the pass
two characteristics of decision making
observation
practising game-like scenarios
c/f strategic and tactical developments
understanding the game and using this understanding to gain an advantage over opponents
strategy c/f
the overall method used to achieve the goal of the game
tactical developments c/f
finding ways to gain an advantage over an opponent
e.g. of strategic and tactical development
cut-out pass requires good technical skills - improved through drills
