1
Q

Q

74
Q

intrinsic motivation determined by…

A

autonomy
competence
social acceptance

75
Q

augmented feedback

A

feedback from external source

-positive augmented feedback can boost motor learning, even if it isn’t true

76
Q

explanation of instructions is most helpful in terms of…

A

biomechanical or physical bases

-ex: transfer of momentum or action-reaction forces

77
Q

more effective to instruct attention to…

A

result rather than aspects of the movement

78
Q

how often to practice

A

distributing practice sessions are more effective than concentrating long practice sessions

79
Q

massed practice

A

little rest between trials

  • reduces recovery from fatigue
  • performance degrades
  • interferes with learning
80
Q

distributed practice

A

much more rest, even as much rest as long as the practice period

81
Q

rest periods for discrete tasks

A

-difficult to make rest periods short enough to affect performance

82
Q

rest periods for continuous practice

A
  • fatigue-like states have more time to build up between trials
  • decreasing rest between trials has larger effects
83
Q

practice distribution effects

A
  • longer rest periods have positive effects on both performance and learning
  • rest periods have a cost: considered “lost time”
84
Q

schema theory

A

learner acquires a set of schemas that relate to the surface features of a motor task to the parameter values necessary to produce the actions

85
Q

variable practice is better or worse than constant practice?

better

  • enhances generalizability
  • enhances development of schemas
86

acquisition

87
Q

random practice is more effective than blocked practice…

A

for retention tests

88
Q

elaboration hypothesis

A

random practice trials make tasks more meaningful

89
Q

forgetting hypothesis

A

“forgetting” facilitates learning

90
Q

feedback

A

info provided during the movement

91
Q

inherent feedback

A

info provided as a natural consequence of making an action

-you can perceive this info directly, without special methods

92
Q

augmented feedback (extrinsic)

A
  • feedback from outside source

- supplements inherent info

93
Q

knowledge of results

A
  • redundant with inherent info

  • learning doesn’t occur is there is no feedback
94
Q

performance and learning is enhanced when the learner’s attention is …

A

external

95
Q

guidance hypothesis

A

the learner can become dependent on feedback instead of using internally generated processes to keep the movement on target

96
Q

too much feedback

A
  • info processing & memory is limited
  • too much is not useful
  • focus feedback on what error is mot fundamental
97
Q

precision of feedback

A

quantitative feedback is most helpful

98
Q

faded feedback

A
  • lots of feedback in early practice

- instructor gradually reduces feedback frequency as skill gets better

99
Q

bandwidth feedback

A

decision to provide a learner with feedback is based on the acceptability level of the performance
-no feedback given is the performance falls within an acceptable level

100
Q

summary feedback

A

feedback is withheld for series of trials

  • summarized for the entire series is summarized for the learner
  • more effective than “every-trial” feedback
  • optimal number of trials
101
Q

average feedback

A
  • variant feedback of summary feedback
  • receive average scores
  • slightly more effective than summary feedback
102
Q

when to give feedback

A

while movement is ongoing, especially for long durations of movements

103
Q

concurrent feedback

A
  • delivered during the ongoing movement
  • increases practice performance
  • poor retention test performance
104
Q

physical guidance during practice

A
  • learner can rely too strongly on it

- learner doesn’t have the opportunity to feel and correct errors

105
Q

instantaneous feedback

A
  • feedback given immediately after a movement is finished
  • can be detrimental to learning
  • may block the learner from processing the inherent feedback
106
Q

focus of hippotherapy

A

gait training, balance, postural control, strengthening, and range of motion

A
  • provide comfort

- temperament

108
Q

service dogs

109
Q

importance of play

A
  • intelligent animals deprived of play do not develop into normal adults

110
Q

animals engage in the most play when…

A

educational demands are highest

-play is not a diversion from more productive processes

111
Q

animals only play when they are not…

A

stressed

-animals won’t play unless they feel safe

112
Q

play is more exploratory and open ended than work

A
  • encourages novel movements which increases neural activity
