Intro to Motor Learning

Question 1

salad idea

Answer 1

motor learning is a mix of different fields coming together

Question 2

info processing in ML

Answer 2

decision making

Question 3

sensory contributions in ML

Answer 3

our senses help us correct errors as we are doing a skill movement
(sight most of the time)

Question 4

Learning Theory»Stages of Learning»Motor Learning

Answer 4

take different learning theory and apply to stages of learning then motor

Question 5

neuromuscular systems»movement control systems

Answer 5

motor control, how brain gets body to do movements you do

Question 6

proprioception»> Motor Programs

Answer 6

proprioception= judging info comin in from all diff sensory sources
motor programs= “software” that triggers muscle signals in right order and degree of strength

Question 7

anticipation timing» attention

Answer 7

???

Question 8

salad idea components

Answer 8

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

Question 9

individual differences ML

Answer 9

need to acknowledge everyone has individual needs, cate to individuals BASED ON theories

Question 10

skill presentation» organization & scheduling of practice ML

Answer 10

**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

Question 11

feedback for skill learning ML

Answer 11

when and how you give feedback on skill is crucial

Question 12

knowledge of results»transfer of learning ML

Answer 12

sometimes knowing outcome of movement can assist with the movement
-dart throwing, sharp shooting, targeting skills

Question 13

transfer of learning… ML

Answer 13

1. across body

2. between skills (high transfer when the different skills are most similar

Question 14

memory ML

Answer 14

memory helps with transfer
window skills (ex. learning bike best before 6 best)

Question 15

motivation ML

Answer 15

motivated learners learn more efficiently

Question 16

imagery goal setting ML

Answer 16

helpful for learning

Question 17

Human Performance

Answer 17

millions and millions of movement skills that go into different areas of life, not only sport

Question 18

skill orientation (movement)

Answer 18

1. reflex=genetic, simplest functioning unit of nervous activity, constant, UNLEARNED
2. skill= LEARNED
3. instinct

Question 19

instinct classification requirements

Answer 19

1. unlearned
2. uniform (same every time)
3. universal (instinct behavior is same across species)

Question 20

skill definition

Answer 20

action or task that has a goal, requires voluntary body and or limb movement to achieve goal
(MILLIONS OF SKILLS)

Question 21

ability definition

Answer 21

general capacity of an individual (LIMITED)

use them to perform skills

Question 22

motor ability definition

Answer 22

related to movement and motor skills

Question 23

Components of a Skill

Answer 23

1. complex
   memory, motor program, storage, recall, movement
2. cognitive
   brain active during skill
3. sensation & perception
   proprioception, vestibular, vision, auditory
4. muscular-motor
   sensors can identify these electrical signals, even posture
5. muscular output

Question 24

Classification fo Motor Skills

Answer 24

1. Open vs closed
2. Discrete vs continuous
3. Gross vs fine
4. Cognitive vs motor (always some cognitive)
5. Serial (put series of skills together, ex pole vaulting, gymnasts, figure skaters)

Question 25

In depth definition of Learning motor skills

Answer 25

Learning is a PROCESS of acquiring the CAPABILITY for producing skilled actions

1. set of underlying events, occurrences, or changes that happen when practice improves skill
2. occurs as direct result of practice or experience
3. cannot be observed directly
4. produces relatively permanent changes in CAPABILITY for skilled behavior
