motor learning 3- CH 11 Flashcards
1
Q
Performance vs learning
A
performance- execution of a skill at specific time and location
learning- a change in capability to perform a skill (non observable)
2
Q
6 General performance characteristics of skill learning
A
- Improvement
- consistency- variability
- Persistance- same over time
- adaptability- done in many dif situations
- reduced attentional demands
- Stability- new sit
3
Q
Types of performance curves
A
linear
negatively accelerated- fast then slow
positively accelerated- slow then fast
ogive- slow fast then steady
4
Q
what are retention tests
A
tests of a practiced skill that a learner performs following an interval of time after practice has closed.
-tests persistence
5
Q
What is a transfer test
A
Assess the adaptability of what was learned during practice.
6
Q
What is coordination dynamics and what does it allow for
A
- involves measurement and observations of movement coordination characteristics
- Allows observation of pattern stability and transition from one pattern to another
7
Q
2 reasons practice performance may misrepresent learning
A
- prac may include a variable that artificially changes performance
- prac may involve performance plateus
8
Q
What is concurrent feedback and is it good for retention
A
- See your results as you do it
- not good for retention
