Module 2 Flashcards
What is the point of Challenge Point Hypothesis?
Optimal level of information that helps learner learn
keep the learner challenged
adjust task and practive environment so there is some success while still challenging the learner
Where should you start with challenge point hypothesis
nominal task difficulty
use of assisted device
practice as a closed vs open skill
less info to process; fewer parts
size of racquet; size of bat; size of ball; speed of object, etc
all ways to adjust functional task difficulty through adaptive practice
Is it better for the learner to choose when to adjust the difficulty of the task?
YES!
functional rask difficulty depends on
nominal difficulty of the motor task
skill level of learner
age of learner (child or older adult)
neurological health of learner
two parts of distribution of practice
massed practice and distributed practice
repeition of a motor task with minimal rest between trials or between practice sessions
massed practice
repetition of a task with trials, block of trials, or practice sessions spaced out over time
distributed practice
Why should you utilize distributed practice?
fatigue, cognitive effort
memeory consolidation (sleep)
specificity of practice
What is part practice?
a task that is broken into component parts and practiced
works best when the actions of one part does not influence the actions of the next part
effective if the parts being practice are naturally occuring subdic
make sure pt understand bigger picture
what is whole task?
things like locomotion cycle should not be broken down
it is more effective for tasks involving continuous motion
practicing the sequence; vividness controlling the image; internal perspective; external perspective
mental practice
Physical > Mental > None
true
motor component needs ____ experience first
physical
cogntiive component prior to
physical
Helps with performance, not learning
can help beginner
can help if dangerous
don’t overuse –> will beocme dependent
guided practice
Directed by patient with SOME PT help
yields better skill acquiition, retention, and genralization
less prevalent in clinical practice
Pt involved in selection of activities, assessment of performance, determining strategies to complete task
may not appropriate for all
guided discovery training
Implicit learning through rep-task-specific w/o experience of error
Errorless learning
tasks may be broken int parts and each part practiced before completing the whole task
Errorless learning
feedback typically provided frequently at first and then may be faded over time
Errorless learning
may allow for less generalization
Errorless learning
implicit learning through skill execution without a prior instruction
errorful learning
feedback is tyically withheld and learning occurs through practice
errorful learning
allows for self correction and learning from mistakes
errorful learning
therapist can elicit patient analysis of performance after the fact to generate adaptions for future performance
errorful learning
Limitations of Task-Specific Training
May not be appropriate for all patients (selection is dependent on degree of recovery); severity of motor and/or cognitive deficits
Is more practice better? T/F
True
- Practice with ___ engagement
- Keep ____ challenged
- keep ___ context in mind
- strategically use: constant, variable, random, blocked practice
- ____ and mental practice
- guided practice
- patient
- learner
- target
- distribute
how to increase intensity of practice
- increase hours of training/day
- increased resistance
- increased cardiovascular workload (HR, RPE)
- challenging balance programs
Performance should be similar to performance
Specificity of practice
Specificity of Practice: motor/biomechanical characteristics
intrinsic feedback, external feedback, and internal forces
