Lecture 26 - Retention and Transfer of Motor Learning Flashcards
What is warm-up decrement?
decreased performance after a period with no practice, disappears after a few trials
What is savings of learning?
the rate of relearing a motor skill is faster than the rate at which the skill is intially learned
What is transfer of learning?
How learning acheived in one task or setting carries over to performance in an alternate task or setting
What is specialized transfer?
performing the same task during performance and practice
What are the 2 types of generalized transfer?
Near transfer and far transfer
What is near transfer?
requires learner to perform the target movement in the target context
Why can’t open skills be practiced directly?
Because of the uncertainty of the task/environment
What is far transfer?
focuses of the development of more general motor skills. Does not require the target movement to be performed in the target environment
A hockey player training by pulling a weight sled. What type of transfer is this?
Far transfer
What factors impact transfer of learning?
- movement patterning
- strategic and conceptual similarities
- sensory/perceptual elements
What are perceptual elements?
aspects of a task that deal with the use of sensory feedback to guide and control actions
the ability to transfer perceptual skills that are shared between activities
What is an example of perceptual skills?
The skills needed to catch fly balls (baseball) could trasnfer to catching a football pass
factors that affect transfer of learning
Explain similarity of movement patterns and how it affects transfer of learning.
Practicing sled run to improve skating performance - they are similar movement patterns
What are conceptual elements?
aspects of a task that del with the rules, principles, guidelines, or strategies of performance
factors that affect transfer of learning
What would be an example of strategies and conceptual elements?
Defence strategies are similar in hockey and basketball
