Module 3 content Flashcards
What is the difference between ability and capability
Ability is a stable enduring trait, Capability is a function of practice and refers to the fact that a single performance cannot reflect skill level underlying the performance
Is motor learning directly observable?
no, infered from changes in performance
Process goals focus on
quality of movement
Product goals focus on
end result of an activity
Constant error utilizes the mode, median, or mean?
mean
measurement of accuracy uses ______ error
constant
measurement of inconsistency uses _______ error
variable
Measurement of dispersion uses _______
Standard deviation
What is the mean in a standard deviation
0
What are the principles of practice
repetition
Specificity
Learning and performance
What are perceptual skills
when you practice a specific skill, you are also enhancing perceptual processing of the specific features of that skill
Reducing the amount of attention needed for a skill through practice is changing your _______
Attention capacity
What is effector competition
practice can reduce the interference experienced by two limbs performing bimanual tasks
Fitts stages of learning
Stage 1 - Cognitive
Stage 2 - Fixation
Stage 3 - Autonomous
Bernstein’s Stages of Learning
Stage 1 - reduce degrees of freedom
Stage 2 - Release degrees of freedom
Stage 3 - Exploit passive dynamics
components of passive dynamics
muscle elasticity
body momentum
gravity
Are discrete or continuous tasks forgotten more quickly?
Discrete
Warm up decrement is _________
where we need some time to warm up before optimal performance can be obtained
similarity in relation to skill transfer is
the idea that the more similarities two skills have, the more transfer will occur from learning one to perform the other
What kind of practice is effective for serial skills of long duration
part practice
Part practice is not effective for
skills where the performance on one part of the task affects the performance on another
In what situations are simulators important
skills are expensive and dangerous
facilities are limited
real practice is not possible
What are the two types of fidelity simulators nees
physical and psychological
3 things motivated performers do
devote more effort
practice more seriously
have longer practice sessions
