Enhancing participation and performance Flashcards
what is the cognitive learning stage?
The first stage of learning a motor skill, where the performer is trying to understand the movement, makes frequent errors, and requires high attention and feedback to improve.
what is the associative learning stage?
the second stage of learning a motor skill, where the performer refines movements, makes fewer errors, and starts to develop better consistency and coordination.
what is the autonomous learning stage?
the final stage of learning a motor skill, where the performer executes the skill with precision, consistency, and little conscious effort, allowing them to focus on strategy and external factors.
what are the 6 sociocultural influences on skill development?
Family – A child whose parents play basketball is more likely to develop basketball skills.
Peers – A teenager who joins a soccer team because their friends play will develop soccer skills.
Cultural traditions and beliefs – A child from a country where cricket is popular may develop strong cricket skills.
Gender – Boys may be encouraged to play contact sports like rugby, while girls may be encouraged to do gymnastics or dance.
Community – A town with a strong swimming culture and facilities will produce more skilled swimmers.
Socioeconomic status – A child from a high-income family may have access to private coaching and better equipment, improving their skill development.
what is direct coaching?
Direct coaching is a structured approach where the coach provides explicit instructions, feedback, and drills, leaving little room for decision-making by the athlete.
What is constraint- based coaching?
Constraint-based coaching is a method where the coach modifies constraints (individual, task, or environment) to encourage athletes to develop skills, decision-making, and adaptability in a game-like context.
constraint-based learning is influenced by what three constraints?
Individual constraints – Factors related to the athlete, such as height, fitness, or motivation
Task constraints – Rules, equipment, or goals of the activity
Environmental constraints – External factors like weather, playing surface, and cultural influences (e.g., a windy day affecting a soccer player’s passing accuracy).
