Q

Gestalt theory

  • emphasis the importance of what
  • three principals
A
  • perception in learning
    1) ppl like simplicity
    2) perception is selective - may focus on one stimuli ie. Pt. in pain, can’t pay attention to learning
    3) pt choose what they want to ignore, based on their needs

A

From past experiences and prior knowledge

29
Q

Fluid intelligence

A
  • ability of abstract thinking, solving problems

  • reaction and processing time is slow
30
Q

Motor learning involves the ___ of a skill, not just the ___
What are the three variables and definitions

A

Retention, not just attainment

  • pre practice - modelling of task
  • practice - massed, distributive, varied, mental imagery
  • feedback - can be intrinsic or extrinsic
31
Q

Continuous vs intermittent feedback

What does it allow?

A
  • good for early learning, but may slow down learning

- helps with retention and LTM

Guided response - earliest stage
Mechanism - intermediate, can perform skill with confidence ie. Can’t fix a computer but can use word
Complex overt response - most complex
Adaptation - modifying learned skill to fit new situations ie. Eating healthy at home
Origination - creating new movement patterns to fit new situations
