Exam 3 Flashcards
Different types of transfer
Near- greater influence
Far- lesser influence
Negative- counterproductive influence
Specificity
Law of specificity
You improve what you train
Design practice activities that are as realistic as feasible
Is the far transfer useful?
If so, just briefly while watching for a negative transfer.
2 types of prior experience
Other skills vs practice
Is unrealistic practice alwayss not bueno
No
warm up, new skill (motor program), mental training,
Keeper catching a bell
Mass vs. distributed practice
Depends on time between reps
Forgetting and retrieval
forgetting occurs if there is enough rest between rest (GMP is no longer in a short term memory)
Make sure to go through hw16
Better for training?
Varied practice
Better for performance
Constant
Blocked vs random practice
Blocked is structured, blocks one skill
Random- tests random skill
pros and cons of blocked practice
better for performance
pros and cons of random practice
Random is better for learning, very powerful
Contextual interference = using more GMPs, requires more motor programming (stimulus identification, response programming)
realism, motivation, interesting, avoids false confidence,
for leraning
BB,RR,RB are similary effective.
BR compeltely useless
Strategies to decrease arousal
Body to mind: closing eyes, deep breath, vigorous physical activity, yoga, stretch, PMR, massage
Mind to body: routines, focus, framing visualization, meditation
Increase arousal techniques
Music, physical activity, pep talks,
Why is varied practice better for MC/ML
It requires parametrization. Otherwise it stays in STM.
What is an especial skill
Skills in which the ideal performance does not require a parameter to change.
What is a schema
A production unit for setting a parameter (setting a correct aim to hit whatever i wanna hit on a dartboard)
Is motor perfromance more a result of the MP to parametrization
Technique gets you to the area, parametrization gets you to the destination.
Minor errors in technique can be compensated for with a good parametrization
What does level of arousal depend on
(Individual), level of motor control (gross, fine), cognitive domain (simple vs complex),
Perceptual narrowing
The attention narrow with the arousal
Overarouslal- miss some aspects
Underarousal- do not focus enough
