Intro to Motor Learning Flashcards
salad idea
motor learning is a mix of different fields coming together
info processing in ML
decision making
sensory contributions in ML
our senses help us correct errors as we are doing a skill movement
(sight most of the time)
Learning Theory»Stages of Learning»Motor Learning
take different learning theory and apply to stages of learning then motor
neuromuscular systems»movement control systems
motor control, how brain gets body to do movements you do
proprioception»> Motor Programs
proprioception= judging info comin in from all diff sensory sources
motor programs= “software” that triggers muscle signals in right order and degree of strength
anticipation timing» attention

salad idea components
1) info processing»decision making
2. Sensory contributions
3. Learning theory
stages of learning
motor learning
4. Neuromuscular systems»motor control systems
5. proprioception»motor programs
6. anticipation»timing
7. individual differences» motor abilities
8. skill presentation»organization and scheduling of practice
9. feedback for skill learning
10. knowledge of results»> transfer of learning
11. memory
12. motivation
13. imagery goal setting
individual differences ML
need to acknowledge everyone has individual needs, cate to individuals BASED ON theories
skill presentation» organization & scheduling of practice ML
**NEED EXPERT PRESENTATION OF SKILL!!)
practice execution of individual movement skill
-teach dominant limb first, more experience, more efficient at learning new movements
-may choose to teach to non dominant hand to elite athletes so they pay extra attn
feedback for skill learning ML
when and how you give feedback on skill is crucial
knowledge of results»transfer of learning ML
sometimes knowing outcome of movement can assist with the movement
-dart throwing, sharp shooting, targeting skills
transfer of learning… ML
- across body
2. between skills (high transfer when the different skills are most similar
memory ML
memory helps with transfer window skills (ex. learning bike best before 6 best)
motivation ML
motivated learners learn more efficiently
imagery goal setting ML
helpful for learning
Human Performance
millions and millions of movement skills that go into different areas of life, not only sport
skill orientation (movement)
- reflex=genetic, simplest functioning unit of nervous activity, constant, UNLEARNED
- skill= LEARNED
- instinct
instinct classification requirements
- unlearned
- uniform (same every time)
- universal (instinct behavior is same across species)
skill definition
action or task that has a goal, requires voluntary body and or limb movement to achieve goal
(MILLIONS OF SKILLS)
ability definition
general capacity of an individual (LIMITED)
use them to perform skills
motor ability definition
related to movement and motor skills
Components of a Skill
- complex
memory, motor program, storage, recall, movement - cognitive
brain active during skill - sensation & perception
proprioception, vestibular, vision, auditory - muscular-motor
sensors can identify these electrical signals, even posture - muscular output
Classification fo Motor Skills
- Open vs closed
- Discrete vs continuous
- Gross vs fine
- Cognitive vs motor (always some cognitive)
- Serial (put series of skills together, ex pole vaulting, gymnasts, figure skaters)
In depth definition of Learning motor skills
Learning is a PROCESS of acquiring the CAPABILITY for producing skilled actions
- set of underlying events, occurrences, or changes that happen when practice improves skill
- occurs as direct result of practice or experience
- cannot be observed directly
- produces relatively permanent changes in CAPABILITY for skilled behavior
