FAP C.Q.4 Flashcards
What are the stages of skill acquisition
Cognitive, associative autonomous
Define the cognitive stage of skill acquisition
Initial stage, the cognitive stage, means gaining understanding of t task
Explain the cognitive stage of skill acquisition
*demos + videos guide learner
*awkwardness, disorientation and error to be expected (magnitude dependant on skill difficulty)
*rates of progress also vary dependant on skill difficulty
*some skills may never be mastered
Define the associative stage of skill acquisition
Second or associative stage, less tuition from coach and more practice from athlete
Explain the associative stage of skill acquisition
*practice entire movement
*kinaesthesis (sense of movement) improves & confidence increases
*some athletes never get to a level where skill is performed automatically
Define the autonomous stage of skill acquisition
Third/autonomous stage, Ability to automatically execute the skill
Explain the autonomous stage of skill acquisition
*execution is properly sequenced and performed instinctively
*able to correct skill execution during performance
*able to attend other cues while performing skill
Example of the autonomous stage of skill acquisition

*height, body shape, personality, intellect and game sense are impacted by genetics
Example Hereditary (characteristics of the learner)
High jumpers = tall and linear
Basketball = tall and muscular
Define prior Experience (characteristics of the learner)
Involves a transfer of learning
Explain prior Experience (characteristics of the learner)
*sampled something similar
*physical skills transferable
*prior experience accelerates learning
Example prior Experience (characteristics of the learner)
Olympic divers previously gymnasts
Define Ability (characteristics of the learner)
The way individuals understand new skills
Explain Ability (characteristics of the learner)
*ability/intelligence taken into account by coach
*talented mature young athletes use:
