  • lessen motivation
22
Q

what are the theories of learning

A 
operant conditioning 
insight learning (gestaltist theories)
constructivism (vygotsky)
observational learning (bandura)
23
Q

observational learning

A

= leanred by copying others

Attention - should be clear, bright, successful, accurate
Retention - should be meaningful and relevant
Motor reproduction - capable of doing task
Motivation - rewards, praise

Bandura

Gestalt
= using experience and understanding to solve problems relating to whole skill

  • thinking and understanding
  • problem solving
  • past experience
  • seeking skill as whole

works because motivation and self satisfaction and better than being told

25

constructivism

A

Vygotsky
= leaning by association with others

learner uses zone of proximal development so asses what they need to do which are:
What i can do?
What i can do with help?
what I can’t do

stage 1 = inter psychological leaning (from others)
stage 2 = intra psychological learning (think and construct actions based on what they learnt)

  • skills learned by MKO
26
Q

operation conditioning

A

= use of reinforcement to link between stimulus and response

3 features

  1. based on trial and error learning
  2. coach might manipulate environment
  3. shapes behaviour by using reinforcement
27
Q

learning

A

= change in behaviour as a result of practice

28
Q

zone of proximal development

A

the next stage of learning based on the performers needs, expectations and current level of performance

29
Q

satisfier

A

an action that promotes a pleasant feeling so that responses are repeated

30
Q

annoyer

A

action that creates unease to promote the avoidance of incorrect responses

31
Q

positive reinforcement

A

a pleasant stimulus after the correct response

32
Q

negatie reinforcement

A

taking away an unpleasant stimulus after the correct response
