Chapter 10 Flashcards
Skill
Is the ability to do something well
What are the three classifications of motor skills?
- Movement Precision
- Type of Movement
- Predictability of the environment
What are the two classifications of movement precision
- Gross Motor Skills
- Fine Motor Skills
Gross Motor Skill
Skill that involves the recruitment of larger muscle groups
Fine Motor Skill
Skill that involves the recruitment of smaller muscles for precise movement
3 Types of Movement
- Discrete Motor Skills
- Continuous Motor Skills
- Serial Motor Skills
Discrete Motor Skills
Skill that has a distinct beginning and end
Continuous Motor Skills
Skill that has no obvious beginning and end point
Serial Motor Skill
The combination of several discrete skills performed in a sequence
Two classifications of predictability of environment
Closed Motor Skill
Open Motor Skill
Closed Motor Skill
Skill where the performer has greatest control over their environment
Open Motor Skill
Is a less predictable environment. In an open environment, the conditions are constantly changing and the performer has limited, if any, control over their environment
What are the three stages of learning
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
Cognitive Stage
IS the stage where the beginner is mentally trying to comprehend the movement requirements of the motor skill; that is ‘what is to be done’
Associative Stage
In this stage the performer is beginning to refine their technique/movement pattern. They are more consistent and make fewer errors
Autonomous Stage
In this stage the skill is now largely automatic; the performer is no longer consciously thinking about the skill. Their focus can be directed elsewhere while performing the skill
Reaction Time
The delay between a stimulus and the initiation of movement
Movement TIme
Time it takes from the initiation to the completion of the movement is known as movement time
Total Response TIme
Is the combination of reaction time and movement time
Anticipation
Is the ability to predict a likely event occuring. It enables the performer to optimise their movement preparation time and reduce their reaction time
Psychological Refractory Period
The momentary delay in processing the second of two stimuli received in quick succession.
What are the three types of Learning Styles
Visual
Auditory
Kinaesthetic
Visual Learner
Prefers to see demonstrations
Auditory Learner
prefers verbal instructions
Kinaesthetic Learner
Prefers to experience the task
Blocked Practice
Repetitive practice of the same task
Random Practice
Varied sequencing of different motor skills in the same session
Two types of feedback
Internal and External
Internal Feedback
Feedback from the performers own senses including visual, auditory, proprioception and touch
Proprioception
Sensory Information relayed from within the muscles
External Feedback
External Feedback can greatly enhance a performers own internal feedback system. It is feedback by outside sources and can be further classified as either knowledge of results or knowledge of performance
Three Purposes of External Feedback
- Fixing errors through either knowledge of results or performance
- Motivation through feedback
- Reinforcement through feedback
What factors determine the style and methods
- the level of competition
- if the sport is a team based or individual sport
- whether the athletes are junior or senior, elite or recreational, mixed or single gender
WHat are the 4 types of coaching styles
- Authoritarian
- Casual
- Democratic
- Cooperative
