Perfectly

What are the laws of learning? Intensity

Students will have a stronger learning experience if is exciting, vivid, or dramatic

What are the laws of learning? Recency

Things most recently learned are best remembered

What is perception?

All learning comes from perceptions and 5 senses

What are the factors that affect perception?

``` Physical organisms Goals and values Self concept Time and opportunity Element of threat ```

What are the three insights

Visual - Seeing or reading Auditory - Hearing or speaking Kinesthetic - Touching and doing

What is motivation?

Dominate force which governs the students progress and ability to learn

What are the four levels of learning?

Rote - memorization Understanding - How or why Application - Ability to apply what the student understands Correlation - Ability to apply the learning to new and different situation

What is a learning plateau

A point where the students rate of learning slows down and or stops

Why is a learning plateaus a problem?

The students frustration will increase

How can we fix a learning plateaus?

Fly with someone different?

What is forgetting and retention?

Retrieval failure Fading Interference Repression or suppression

What are the two transfers of learning?

Positive Transfer - If learning “A” helps in learning “B” | Negative transfer - If learning “A” hinders learning “B”

How can we achieve positive transfer of learning?

Correlate the procedure to something else

What is habit formation?

Must maintain proper habits from the beginning and must have a good foundation

What is the definition of effective communication?

Flow of information from one person to another

What is included in the effective communication model?

Source Symbol Receiver

What is included in the effective communication model? source

Do they understand? up to date information

What is included in the effective communication model? Symbol

Words, signs, message

What is included in the effective communication model? Receiver

Listener, reader, student. Must determine their abilities and adapt to their attitude

What are the barriers to effective communications?

Lack of common experience Confusion between symbol and the symbolized object Overuse of abstractions Interface

What are the barriers to effective communications? Lack of common experience

“91.213” whats that to a private pilot

What are the barriers to effective communications? Confusion between symbol and the symbolized object

“AMT” no one knows what that is

What are the barriers to effective communications? Overuse of abstractions

“Aircraft” there are many kinds of aircraft, not enough details

How do you know your student has learned something?

They have changed something

What is in the instructor toolbox

``` Never interrupt your student Do not Judge Think before answering Be close enough to hear Watch non verbal behavior Aware of Biases Look for underlying feelings Concentrate Avoid Recursing answer while listening Do not insist on the last word ```

Whats the definition of a spin?

Result of an aggravated stall condition | Aggravated = yaw + stall

Forward CG?

Nose Heavy More tail down force needed Decrease in performance

Aft CG?

Tail heavy Less tail down force needed/ less stable Increases performance

what increases performance?

Increase in pressure is increase in performance, pilot technique, aft CG

What decreases performance?

Increase in temperature is a decrease in performance, Forward CG

What is the definition of angle of attack?

Relative wind to the chord line

What is rudder control?

Yaw about the vertical axis

what's a slip?

Horizontal component of lift being greater than the centrifugal force (Need more rudder

Whats a skid?

where the rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank

Whats dynamic stability?

Need positive static, and over time

Whats static stability?

characteristic of an aircraft that causes it to try to return to straight and level flight after it has been disturbed from this condition.
