Q

______ precision early, _______ precision later

A

34
Q

Frequent feedback

A

distracts and interferes with information processing, learning is negatively impacted

35
Q

concurrent feedback and terminal, continuous feedback

A

most effective for performance, maximize dependency

36
Q

Relative feedback

A

most effective, helps learner develop error detection, enhances learning, and enhances problem solving

37
Q

Feedback directly after a trial is ________ to learning

A

detrimental

38
Q

Feedback delayed _____________ does not have a detrimental effect

A

Several seconds or several minutes (longer than 5 seconds)

39
Q

We believe that one of the commonalities between movement science and physical rehabilitation is that _________

A

motor improvement results from repetition

40
Q

Practice alone does not necessarily lead to what?

A

the acquisition of a new skill

41
Q

Assessment of subjects’ methods shows that ____________ often account for lack of improvement

A

inadequate strategies

42
Q

Deliberate practice

A

highly structured, explicit goal is to improve performance, specific tasks are used, performance is carefully monitored, requires effort, may not be inherently enjoyable, motivation comes from knowledge that practice will improve performance

43
Q

When is blocked practice most effective?

A

early in learning and to increase performance

44
Q

When is random practice most effective?

A

When used to increase motor learning and increase retention

45
Q

Blocked practice needs _________ trials

A

less

46
Q

Random practice needs ______ trials

A

More

47
Q

Performance on one task results in degradation on another task, but also leads to what?

A

improved motor learning

48
Q

In ___________ practice, rest periods > practice

A

distributed

49
Q

In ________ practice, practice time > rest periods

A

Mass

50
Q

Distributed practice results in what?

A

improved performance

51
Q

Mass practice results in what?

A

improved learning

52
Q

Distributed practice is recommended for what?

A

continuous tasks, complex tasks, and a learner with decreased motivation

53
Q

Mass practice is recommended for what?

A

discrete tasks and a learner with a high skill level

54
Q

Practicing parts of a task is most useful for what?

A

long tasks and difficult aspects

55
Q

Practicing a whole task is most useful for what?

A

A learner who has prerequisite skills and if the task is less than 1 second

56
Q

Must gradually integrate parts of a task to minimize what kind of problems?

A

transfer problems

57
Q

Intertask transfer does not take place if the tasks are different in what?

A

only very small ways

58
Q

Low practice variability

A

results in greater performance on practiced tasks

59
Q

High practice variability

A

results in improved task transfer within a movement class, improved generalizability, improved adaptability, and improved competence

60
Q

variable practice results in what two things?

A

greater retention and error detection

61
Q

Need to be able to transfer to what?

A

63
Q

Principles of mental practice/cognitive rehearsal

common in rehab settings, cost effective, studies suggest goals achieved earlier, and motor learning strategies must be employed

69
Q

Strategies for caregiver education and training

A

be responsive to needs; provide intrinsic motivation; caregiver education should focus on observation, recognition, and acceptance; should spend time observing physical therapist; must make sense based on individual goals and lifestyle

70
Q

Guidance during practice is used to do what?
