learning and performace Flashcards
What is the principle of insight learning?
understanding the relationship between sub-routines or different factors that may influence the whole problem rather than learning specific movement patterns.
How does insight learning impact skill development?
It allows the performer to think about their response and modify their actions based on previous experience and the situation at the time.
True or False: Insight learning encourages performers to rely solely on the coach’s input.
False
What are the benefits of using insight learning in mixed ability groups?
Develops independent learners, encourages cognitive processes, increases motivation, fosters creativity, and enhances decision-making.
Fill in the blank: Insight learning develops greater understanding of the relationship between _______.
[sub-routines]
What is operant conditioning?
A learning process that shapes or modifies behavior by changing the environment using reinforcement.
List the types of reinforcement used in operant conditioning.
- Positive reinforcement
- Negative reinforcement
- Punishment
What is the effect of punishment on motivation according to operant conditioning?
Overuse of punishment can lead to a decrease in motivation, while appropriate use can enhance motivation by breaking the S-R bond.
How can a coach structure practices to utilize operant conditioning effectively?
Using drills, targets, small-sided games, and providing positive reinforcement such as praise or feedback.
What are the four processes of observational learning?
- Attention
- Retention
- Motor reproduction
- Motivation
Explain the process of attention in observational learning.
Ensure performer takes notice by making the demonstration attractive, clear, accurate, and justifying its use.
What role does motivation play in observational learning?
It is the drive needed to copy the behavior, achieved by giving praise, rewards, or positive reinforcement.
Fill in the blank: In operant conditioning, negative reinforcement involves the removal of an _______ stimulus to encourage the desired response.
[unpleasant]
How does mental rehearsal relate to insight learning?
It allows performers to visualize and plan their actions based on understanding the skill as a whole.
What is the significance of shaping in operant conditioning?
It involves manipulating the environment to obtain the desired response.
True or False: Insight learning is solely based on trial and error.
False
What impact does insight learning have on a games player’s decision-making?
It enables the player to evaluate the situation and make informed decisions based on the context.
Suggest a method a coach could use to make demonstrations more effective based on Bandura’s observational learning theory.
Make the demonstration fun, interesting, and attractive so that the performer pays attention.
What is the relationship between insight learning and creativity?
Insight learning encourages creativity by allowing performers to think independently and develop their own tactics.
Fill in the blank: A performer learns through operant conditioning by associating the consequences of previous actions with the _______ situation.
[current]
What is Bandura’s observational learning theory?
A theory that explains how individuals can learn new behaviors by observing others and the outcomes of those behaviors.
List the four processes involved in Bandura’s observational learning.
- Attention
- Retention
- Motor production
- Motivation
How can a coach enhance the effectiveness of demonstrations according to Bandura’s theory?
- Make demonstrations accurate
- Ensure visibility of the demonstration
- Focus on gaining the observer’s attention
- Provide clear instructions
- Consider the observer’s capability
- Allow for mental rehearsal
- Break down skills into sub-routines
- Use various formats for demonstrations
- Limit time between demonstration and practice
Fill in the blank: Observational learning involves the stages of ______, retention, motor production, and motivation.
