Motor ability Flashcards
what is motor learning
acquiring motor skills through practice
movement structure of motor learning
discrete, serial, and continuous skills
environmental stability of motor learning
closed or open skill
3 phases of motor learning
cognitive, associative, autonomous
what is the cognitive stage of motor learning
what to do
what is the associative stage of motor learning
how to do it
what is the autonomous stage of motor learning
doing it
what are generalized motor programs
blueprint for class of movements rather than a specific action
how is generalized motor programs more efficient
you don’t have to recall every movement variation
what are invariant features
always the same with relative timing and force
what are parameters
altering the movement duration or force
what is recall schema
determines how much force, timing, and movement parameters to use
what is recognition schema
compares expected vs actual movement outcomes for error correction
what happens to improvements the more we practice
make less improvements
blocked practice
repeating same skill before switching
random practice
mixing different skills within a session
constant practice
practicing same skill in exact same conditions
varied practice
practicing same skill in different environments
massed practice
practicing for long durations with little to no rest
distributed practice
spaced practice over multiple shorter sessions with breaks
knowledge of results
what happened
what is knowledge of results effect
long term retention
knowledge of performance
how it happened
how is knowledge of performance effective
learn about pattern of movement and refine technique
what happens with too much feedback
dependency and poor retention when removed
summary feedback
feedback only given after a number of trials
bandwidth feedback
only providing feedback when errors fall outside given range
what type of feedback is self-guided correction
bandwidth
faded feedback
starts with 100% relative feedback, then goes to 0%
what 3 things are motivation associated with
effort, persistence, and attention
what is persistence in regards to motivation
working longer
Yerkes Dodson law
low arousal - boredom, high arousal - stressful, but optimal - best focus
