Q

Cognitive Stage

A

highest concentration of conscious processing, involves problem solving, controlled environment ideal
large amount of errors
inconsistent attempts
repetition allows for improvement of strategies
high degree of cognitive work: listening, observing, processing feedback

Q

Associative Stage

A

more independent in identifying errors in performance, links feedback w/ movements & ultimate goal, can practice in less structured environment, **avoid excessive external feedback
decreased errors
decreased need for concentration/cognition regarding task
skill refinement
increased coordination
more practice = more refined movement

Q

Autonomous Stage

A

improves efficiency of task w/o great deal of cognitive control, task can be performed in a variety of environments
automatic response
mainly error-free regardless of environment
patterns of movement are non-cognitive/automatic
distraction does not impact task
person can perform simultaneous tasks
extrinsic feedback should be limited/not provided
internal feedback dominates

16
Q

Blocked Practice

A

consistent practice of a single task

17
Q

Whole Training

A

practice of an entire task

18
Q

Part Training

A

practice of individual/ selected component of a task

19
Q

Closed System model

A

characterized by transfer of info incorporating multiple feedback loops- nervous system = “Active participant,” can initiate movement, not just reacting to stimuli

20
Q

Compensation

A

using alternate motor/sensory strategies due to impairment, limits normal completion of task

21
Q

Habituation

A

decrease in response that occurs as result of consistent exposure to non-painful stimuli

22
Q

Types of Learning

A

Non-associative
Associative
Procedural
Declarative

23
Q

Non-Associative Learning

A

single repeated stimulus (habituation, sensitization)

24
Q

Associative Learning

A

gaining understanding of relationship between two stimuli/ causal relationships/ stimulus & consequence (classical conditioning, operant conditioning

25
Q

Procedural Learning

A

learning tasks that can be performed without attention/concentration- task is learned be forming movement habits (developing a habit through repetitive practice)

26
Q

Declarative Learning

A

requires attention/awareness/reflection in order to attain knowledge that can be consciously recalled (mental practice)

27
Q

Open System Model

A

single transfer of info w/o any feedback loop (reflexive hierarchical theory)- nervous system awaits stimulus in order to react

28
Q

Performance

A

temporary change in motor behavior during practice as result of many variables (only one variable focuses on act of learning)- not an absolute measure of learning

29
Q

Plasticity

A

ability to modify at synapse level (temporarily/permanently) in order to perform a task

30
Q

Strategy

A

plan used to produce specific result to influence the system
