Q

What does the dynamical systems theory suggest

A

Movement responses are controlled by 3 categories of constraints
Organismic (the body)
Environment (social and physical)
Task (what body is being asked to do)

Q

How can teacher manage fear of failure

A
  • structure the class experience to minimize potential consequences
  • as student work to become more proficient, should not experience isolation or situations where they are on public display
  • they should not be subjected to challenge of social comparison (e.g., teacher selects teams)

Q

In the in between associative stage what is the learner now able to being embracing

Q

What will the learner still not demonstrate in the associative stage

Q

How long can someone be in associative stage

A

Very long time - especially with complex skills
Appropriate and accurate teacher feedback is very important at this time
- may never move out of this stage
- why group instruction is hard

25
Q

What is the goal of all motor learning

A

For skill to become automatic
Learner does not have to intentionally think about skill execution

26
Q

Demonstrate consistency of skill execution

A

Automatic stage

27
Q

At automatic stage what can the learner apply their skill to

A

In more and more challenging environments (e..g, more relationships)

28
Q

The higher levels of functioning in cognitive learning result in increased cognitive processing whereas what happens in motor skill acquisition

A

Higher levels of learning in motor skill acquisition result in less cognitive processing
Increase skill, decrease cognitive function

29
Q

What is the objective of motor skill learning

A

Have learners not focused on their (motor) response

30
Q

Examples of how a teacher can structure their instructional plan to maximize the students’ learning experience

A
  • equalize competition
  • skilled paired with less skilled
  • divide by skill level
31
Q

Beginnner

A

Body and space

32
Q

intermediate

A

Body, Space and force

33
Q

Advanced

A

Body, space, Force and relationships

34
Q

Movement patterns (10)

A

Sending
Receiving
Accompanying
Evading
Locomotions
Landings
Statics
Swings
Rotations
Springs

35
Q

5 requirements needed to learn a motor skill

A

Prerequisites
Clear idea of the task
Motivational/attentional disposition to the skill
Practice
Feedback

36
Q

What do prerequisites for motor skill learning often involve

A
  • learner having mastered some preliminary skills and abilities that are easier but related
  • learner having reached a certain level of physical maturation (e.g., strength and flexibility)
37
Q

What is it important that teachers do in relation to prerequisites

A

Do not assume students have attained the level of physical maturation or mastered the preliminary skills necessary to learn a particular motor skill

38
Q

In relation to prerequisites, what may be an issue if motor skills are not being performed proficiently

A

Student may not have the foundational skill or strength to perform the skill

39
Q

When learner has prerequisites for skill what is the next important step

A

Determine if they understand what they are being asked to do (clear idea of the task)

40
Q

Why do most skill-learning problems occur

A

The learners do not have a clear vision in their minds of what they are being asked to do

41
Q

What do teachers need to provide for a clear idea of the task

A

Clear and specific instructions so they can develop, in their minds, motor programs that they than activate to facilitate movement

42
Q

Motor programs

A

Memory representation for a pattern of movement that is rather abstract and usually does not involve a specific movement performed by a specific set of muscles and limbs but a pattern that is general to a variety of responses

43
Q

What does good instruction facilitate

A

Acquisition of accurate motor programs
Good demonstrations and careful selection of info given to learners

44
Q

Why is the motor program an important idea

A

It emphasizes the extreme importance of cognitive function in motor skill acquisition

45
Q

What do most problems with motor skill development have to do with

A

The faulty installation of a motor program, or the faulty interpretation of a motor program

46
Q

Motivational/attentional disposition to skill

A

World of nurturing within students the desire to a learn a skill

47
Q

What is the best way to nurture motivational/attentional disposition to skill

A

Try and make the learning meaningful to the student

48
Q

In addition to enhancing student motivation, what does meaningfulness enhance

A

The actual learning process because our brains are wired to more effectively process info we find most relevant

49
Q

What is a practice plan essential for

A

As motor skills are learned as motor programs that are general and not specific to muscle groups

50
Q

What do motor programs allow a learner to do

A

More easily adapt movement patterns to different situations

51
Q

Why are motor programs less consistent and more variable

A

Because they are not learned as a specific set of instructions for a particular set of muscles

52
Q

Practice of motor skills is essential for what

A

Developing and refining the motor program and reducing variability
Specific practice plan should be put in place before instruction

53
Q

Feedback refers to

A

Information being provided to learners about how they are doing

54
Q

How can learners receive feedback

A

Internally (e.g., their own kinaesthetic sense) and externally (e.g., teacher comments)

55
Q

What does a teacher need before beginning instruction

A

Feedback philosophy

56
Q

What does feedback need to be

A

Specific, prioritized, and free of judgment
Needs to make room for further student attempts

57
Q

What is the most important requirement for learning a motor skill

A

Feedback
So issues can be fixed and faulty movement patterns don’t develop

58
Q

What should feedback regarding motor skills primarily focus on

A

On the technique rather than the outcome (ex: how you got the goal)

59
Q

What is the rationale for the focus on techniques not outcome

A

Centers around thought that good motor skill technique will lead to good motor skill outcomes

60
Q

Example of focus on technique

A

Good bball jump shooting technique should lead to more made jump shots

61
Q

What are required to improve motor skill proficiency

A

Patience, passion, and perseverance- grit

62
Q

Important quality for students to possess to facilitate the development of motor skill proficiency

A

Grit
