Cognitive/Insight Flashcards
Cognitive theories require the learner to understand where they are starting from…
Their objective and how they are going to achieve this
Cognitive theories stress the importance of what the brain does with the information…
It receives - reject the idea that we ready to a stimulus without even thinking
Adams’ closed loop theory suggests that a movement is initiated by memory trace, stored in our LTM
Memory trade is then taken over by…
Perceptual trace, which uses feedback to refine the movement and eliminate errors
Schmidt’s schema theory suggests that we store in our memory a generalised series of…
Movement patterns - ‘schemas’
Schemas are adapted and modified to the…
Environment/new situations
A schema is a set of relationships involving joint actions and…
Muscular contractions which produce a movement
(Schmidt) When learning a new skill we recall and…
Alter stored motor programmes to suit the situation
Schemes are initiated, evaluated and updated by 2 processes:
1) Recall schema
2) Recognition schema
Recall schema actually starts the movement and is used…
Before movement
Recognition schema controls and …
Evaluates - during and after
Recall schema splits into 2:
1) Knowledge of initial conditions: where am I?
2) Knowledge of response specifications: what have I got to do?
1) knowledge of initial conditions provides info…
Before the movement Location of performer Environment Limb position Compared to previous experience
2) knowledge of response specifications provides info about…
The task that has to be completed Motor programme Limb action Speed Force Options available
Recognition schema splits into 2:
1) Sensory consequences: what does the movement feel like?
2) Response outcomes: what has happened as a result of the movement?
1)Sensory consequences (during) provides…
Internal feedback we receive we we undertake the movement Feelings experienced during and after Kinaesthetic Sounds/sensory info Adjustments may need to be made
