Exam 1 Flashcards
Learning
change as a result of practice in some internal relative stable state which permits a change in behavior
Key Terms of Learning
change, practice, internal, stable, and change
Habit Strength
persisting state of a individual which is neccessary but not sufficient to evoke the action
3 Scholars on the Types of Learning
Bloom, Melton, Gagne
Bloom
cognitive, affective, psychomotor
Melton
classical, wrote/verbal, probability, short term memory, concept, problem solving, and prespectional motor skills
Gagne
motor skills, verbal skills, intellectual skills, cognitive, attitude
Motor Skills
are a set of perceptional and motor responses into a integrated functional and organized pattern
Spatial
right muscles brought into play/ technical aspects
Temporal
timing elements of WHEN they are brought into play
Fine
eye-hand coordination activities (pulling the trigger of a rifle)
Gross
large muscles, big movements, whole body (tennis serve)
Discrete
single exertion with a definite beginning and end
Serial
there is a beginning and end but happen in rapid sucession
Continous
rhythmical whole body movements with no beginning or end (swimming)
Self Paced
you initiate the activity when you want
External Paced
a skill in which the environment/opponent or object initiates the action
Closed
predictable unchangeable environment
Open
variables in environment are changing
Manipilation
interacting with or changing the object
Non Maniplation
not interacting with or changing the object
Body Transport
moving the body horizontal or vertically
Non Body Transport
body moving in stationary position
Performance
temporary occurrence that fluctuates from time to time due to many pov’s
POV
performance operating variable (surface, coach, eating, sleeping, time of day, temperature outside)
Latent Learning
learning may be taking place during practice but may not be demonstrated until a salient reinforcement is given
Example of Salient Reinforcement
getting a staring position instead of sitting the bench
Gentile’s Taxonomy
environmental context and function of action
Environmental Context
in what environment the skill is performed
Function of Action
does it involve moving or manipulating the body
Environmental Context Categories
regulatory conditions and intertrial variability
Regulatory Conditions
environmental context that determines or regulates the characteristics of the objects in the environment
Intertrial Variability
not all trials are the same
Regulatory Conditions Categories
stationary or motion orientated
Intertrial Variability Categories
present or absent
Function of Action Categories
body orientation or object manipulation
Body Orientation Categories
body stable or body transport
Object Manipulation Categories
object manipulation or no object manipulation
Skill Proficiency
- max certainty of goal achievement = performance on demand
- min. energy expenditure
- min. movement time
A situational approach
Who? What? Where?
Choking
a big drop in performance in a otherwise well learned proficient task which generally occurs at a critical moment
Implict Learning
improves your responses through repeated trials without awareness
Automated Movements (processing)
executed without conscious attention
Choking Categories
distraction or controlled processing
Distraction
to become aware of external and internal distractions instead of being automated
Controlled Processing
control your movements instead of having them be automated
Classical Condition
- learning by contiguity
- stimulus response
- signalization
Learning by Contiguity
learn as two event occur at the same time and form an association
Signalization
forming SR bonds in your brain
Stimulus Substitution
conditioned stimulus is substituted for unconditioned response
Counteract Negative SR
- countering - general
- factorial disputing - specific
- convey positive future expectation
Thorndike - Learning is
- trial and error
- mechanical
- problem solving
- Law of Exercise
- Law of Effect
- Identical element theory of transfer
Law of Exercise
during repetition SR bonds are strengthen
Law of Effect
if a response is followed by a statisfer then the SR bond is strengthen
