Advantages of external motivation

A

Useful or novice performers as it may encourage sustained participation by the performer in a particular activity
Allow the performer to see tangible evidence of their improvement thus increase self confidence

A

Proportional relationship to effort

If there are no extrinsic rewards then little effort will be given thus delaying the learning process

Q

How long should extrinsic motivation be used for?

A

Should be used in the initial stages of the learning process
Intrinsic motivation should be positively encouraged by teacher or coach at all times
Those who are intrinsically motivated are most likely to continue with participation and sustained effort because they are participating for enjoyment, self realisation and personal satisfaction, not just reward

Q

How can we motivate people to learn?

A

Progression: evident u are getting better
Role models: +vet role models to motivate to continue to take part
Attainable targets: achievable but attainable- pride and satisfaction if you achieve
Social experience: +be relationships
Transfer of skills: increases self confidence which motivated them to take part
Education: educate people on the benefits of BAHL
Punishment: avoid, don’t want to experience pain
Positive and negative reinforcement: raised self confidence, criticism
Intrinsic and extrinsic rewards: encourages pride and self esteem, extrinsic raises self confidence, visible success
Taster sessions: encouraging through enjoyable sessions

Q

Q

What does the drive theory suggest?

A

The more aroused we are the more likely we are to produce our dominant response

16
Q

What is a dominant response?

A

The behaviour or response that is most likely to be given by the performer

17
Q

Drive theory process

A

An established motor programme is overlearned or grooved, becoming learned behaviour
When we are put under pressure we experience an increase in arousal Levels
Resulting behaviour will be the learned behaviour and this becomes our dominant response

18
Q

Increased arousal results in a positive performance when

A

Dominant habit is well learned
Dominant habit is correct
Performer is autonomous

19
Q

Increased arousal results in a negative performance when:

A

Dominant habit is poorly learned
Dominant habit is incorrect
Performer is cognitive / associative

20
Q

Why would a cognitive performer learn best in low arousal?

A

Allows the performer to concentrate fully on the performance as this phase require lots of thought and concentration
Allows them to fully focus on the feedback being given by the teacher or flavin
High arousal: lots of mistakes

21
Q

Why would an expert performer best in high arousal?

A

Skill required will have been overlearned resulting in a fluent and technically correct dominant Response

22
Q

What is inverted U theory?

A

As arousal increase, so does performance but only to an optimal point or level

23
Q

Inverted U theory stages

A

Low arousal: sub optimal performance. Golfer drives short
Moderate arousal: perfect stage where potential for leering is maximised, cue utilisation occurs also. This is different for each individual. This would be a golfer hitting the green
Over arousal: if arousal continues over optimum, performance will deteriorate. Performer becomes hyper vigilant. Golfer: technique incorrect and drive hit wide.

24
Q

Individualism of inverted u theory

A

Modified depending on the personality of the performer and skill level of the performer as well as the nature of the task

25
Q

What personality factors effect the optimum point of arousal?

A

Introverts
- quick to become aroused

Extroverts
- slow to become aroused

26
Q

How can the type of task effect the optimum level of arosual?

A

Gross, simple and closed skills
Can all be completed in conditions of High arousal

Fine, complex and open skills
Best performed in conditions of low arousal

27
Q

How can stage of learning effect the optimum point of arousal?

A

Cognitive and associative learners
Performer best in conditions of low arousal

Autonomous
Can performer well in conditions of High arousal

28
Q

How can level of experience effect optimum point of arosual

A

Experienced performer: perform well in conditions of high arousal

Novice performer: need conditions of low arousal to perform well

29
Q

What happens if a catastrophe drop occurs?

A

Performers need to take a time out to do some anxiety management/mental re-fo using
Return to previous levels of performance is difficult at this stage

30
Q

What is the task or goal in drive reduction theory?

A

Desire to learn a new skill

31
Q

What is action taken in drive reduction theory??

A

Drive to satisfy the need to learn

32
Q

What is result of the drive reduction theory?

A

Skill is mastered and learning accomplished

Drive to continue to work at the skill is reduced

33
Q

What is drive reduction theory?

A

States that motivation is lost when skill is over learned and the task becomes tedious
At this point, new targets and goals need to be set to re motivate the athlete
This emphasises the importance of the use of motivational strategies by coaches and teachers
