Learning Flashcards
training
person is provided with solutions to problems
- short term
- “water to ice”
learning
person is encouraged to find own solution
-“hard boiling an egg”
how is motor learning stored
sensory information in association with motor activity
types of learning
nonassociative
associative
nonassociative learning
single stimulus given repeatedly
- habituation
- sensitization
habituation
decrease in behavior
sensitization
increased responsiveness
associative learning
pairing of stimuli
ideas are associated to help the learner perceive and then establish casual relationships in the context
methods of associative learning
implicit/procedural
explicit/declarative
implicit/procedural learning
happens automatically without any conscious thought
happens over time and with practice
you can do it but can’t explain how you are doing it
“cerebellar circuits”
explicit/declarative learning
conscious process
results in knowledge that can be expressed consciously
can attend to more than one thing
temoral and hippocampal areas
Fitts and Posner’s stages of motor learning
cognitive phase
associative phase
autonomous phase
cognitive phase of motor learning
high degree of consciousness required
searching for best strategy
high degree of attention to regulatory conditions and degree of movement and motor control
-trial & error
associative phase of motor learning
learner has picked best strategy and is beginning to refine it
uses feedback to make refinements
switches from what to do to how to do
autonomous phase of motor learning
automatic learning
