motor learning 4- CH 14 Flashcards
What does an observer perceive from demos
The invariant features of movement pattern
T/F- Coordianation changes are documented when observers view full body demos as well as end point info
T
When does demos lead to better learning then other instruction forms
When skill being learned requires aqusision of a new pattern of coordination
What evidence do we have of mirror neurons and from which part of the brain is their the most activity
- From FMRI
- Shows activity in Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Why should demonstrator perform skill correctly
learner copies successful strats. (linked to quality of demo)
Can novices benefit from watching other novices and how
yes, can learn unsuccessful strats to avoid.
when observing and visualizing a skill what parts of the brain are active
supplementary motor area of cortex
when just observing what part of the brain is active
preSMA
When should demos be done
before and during practice allowing for learners to self select when they recieve demos
What are some important aspects to remember for verbal instructions/ cues
- consider attention/mem limit
- focus instructions on movement outcomes
- use analogies
- give verbal instructions that influence goal achievement strats.
What is verbal cues and what should they do
- short consice phrases
- direct attention to specific environmental context features
- Prompt specific movement/sequence.
