Motor Learning Flashcards
The preferred mode through which learners take in and process information is called
modal strength
All learners are motivated to learn the skills presented to them
False
A patient is pre and post tested on his execution of a sit to stand transfer. Following the post test, the patient is then tested on his ability to perform the sit to stand transfer from a novel chair height. This latter test is called a
Transfer test
Once a learner reached the autonomous stage of learning, a key responsibility of the practitioner is to
motivate
if a learners movements lack synchronization and appear choppy and deliberate that learner is most likely in which stage of learning
Cognitive
which of the following would best measure learning
A retention test
Efforts to design instructional methodology that capitalizes on positive transfer should be made in all situations
False
If a learners past experience with badminton temporarily interferes with their learning of tennis, is said to have occured
a negative transfer
when using transfer it is important that
the skills referred to are well learned
which of the following would be a strategy that could be implemented to accommodate a kinesthetic learner?
simulations
which of the following are based on the principles of transfer
skill progressions, lead up games, and simulators
to what extent would you expect transfer to occur to a game situation from a volleyball drill that requires teammates to form a circle and bump the ball to the next person clockwise direction?
Low
which of the following would be a strategy that could be implemented to accommodate an analytical learner?
questioning strategies regarding cause and effect
an instructor that tells students to shake hands with the racket is using
an analogy
when the learning of a new skill or its performance uncer novel condition is influenced by past experience with another skill or skills it is known as:
transfer
it is just as important to point out differences between two skills as it is the similarities when attempting to capitalize on transfer
true
one of the easiest learning style variables to accommodate for motor skill learning
perceptual mode
which of the following is not true of learning styles
unless accommodated, learning will not occur
which of the following are true of global learners
they learn more easily when they are first presented with the big picture and then asked to concentrate on detailes
transfer can be
positive, negative, and zero
the cue words pace and tempo would be associated with which preffered mode
auditory
which of the following can be examined to determine the degree of similarity between two skills and assess the potential for positive transfer
all of the above
no two individuals possess identical learning style
true
one would expect transfer between a slap shot in hockey and the butterfuly stroke in swimming
zero
a learner who is capable of detecting some erros but still struggling to determine how to fix them is in what stage of learning
associative
johnny have been playing soccer for 3 years. this year he is being intriduced to a new kill, heading a soccer ball. with the respect to heading the soccer ball, what stage is learning
cognitive
which o the following is administrered directly following the practice period
post test
in the early stages of skill acquisition a learner
freezes the degrees of freedom
which of the following is not true of beginners
their movements are performed with little or no concious control
which of the following is not true of performance curves
they are useful for establishing that a relatively permanent change has taked place
which of the following is a role that the practitioner no longer plays with learner is in the associative stage of learning
providing initial instructions
which of the following is not true of verbal cues
they should be concise
when demonstrating the free throw, the learning should be positioned so that they can view the shot from
the back
a learning model emphasizes
movement imitation
which of the following should be avoided when giving a demonstration
repetition of cue words
when instructions are used to introduce a learner to a new skill, the practitioner should
explain all of the differenes criterion conditions in which the skill may be used
the initial demonstration should be
performed in real time
an external focus
directs a learning attention to the effects of his or hers actions on the environment
which of the following is the least effective formation
full circle
which of the following are true with respect of sound
consequent sounds can provide learners with a frame of reference for error diagnosis
which of the following is true
beginning learners are able to discriminate between relevant and non relevant stimuli
the key to the use of a frame of referene
allows them to compare the correctness of their actions
discovery learning
a strategy where the learner attempts to solve a movement problem through the exploration of a variety of possible task solutions
which of the following techniques would be optimal to check for understanding
asking learners specific questions regarding the instructions given to them
for a learner in the autonomous stage of the learning, the role of the practitioner
still involves practice design and error detection correction
initial instructions that are highly detailed
capture a learners interest
the name of the theory that suggests the developement of a cognitive representation of a skill from seeing a demonstration or model is
the dynamic interpretation of modeling
an internal focus of attention directs a learner to
concentrate on a specific body mvement
which of the following is true
conscious awareness is necessary for learning about the environmental regulatory features of a motor skill
which of the following is important to do before skill instruction begins
perform a demonstration
effective instructions
can only be given by an expert
variations in both regulatory and non regulatory conditions should be systematically
closed skills with intertrail variability and open skills
in the autonomous stage the attentional focus is
reallocated to strategic decision making
for a closed skill with no intertrial variability, which of the following conditions
fixed regulatory conditions and varying non regulatory conditions
for an open skill, which of the following conditions should be practiced?
varying regulatory conditions and varying non regulatory conditions
consciously attending to specific aspects of a well learned movement can be detrimental to performance
true
a period of time during the learning process in which no over changes in performance occur is called
performance plateau
