Motor Learning Principles

Question 1

Feedback

Name some types…

Answer 1

Concurrent, Terminal, Immediate, Delayed, Summary, Faded, Bandwidth-KR, Blocked, Variable (random)

Question 2

Feedback

Concurrent Feedback

Concurrent means “@ same time”

Answer 2

Feedback presented during mvmt

Question 3

Feedback

Terminal Feedback

Terminal think “END”

Answer 3

Feedback given after the mvmt

You will see this overlaps w/ immediate feedback**

Question 4

Feedback

Immediate Feedback

Overlaps w/ Terminal feedback”

Answer 4

Feedback given immediately after mvmt

Question 5

Feedback

Delayed Feedback

“Once everything is done”

Answer 5

Feedback given after brief time delay

SHORT time interval

Question 6

Feedback

Summary Feedback

“Summarize a set”

Answer 6

Feedback given after set # of trials
- Ex. after every 2nd set, 5th set, 20th set

Question 7

Feedback

Faded Feedback

Answer 7

Feedback given first after every trial, THEN LESS FREQ on subsequent blocks of trials
- Ex. Maybe you give after every 1st trial @ first, then progress to after every 3rd, then to every 5th trial

Question 8

Feedback

Bandwidth-KR Feedback

Answer 8

Feedback given only when performance deviates outside boundaries of correct performance
- Ex. walking tandem on balance foam– if they fall off a few times just to the side its OK say nothing, but make a boundary, and if they step over that— **give feedback **

Question 9

Feedback

Blocked Feedback

Blocked think SAME, ONE SOURCE

Answer 9

One source of feedback provided; Feedback presented about the same segment on consecutive trials
- Ex. Heel strike @ gait, ONE particular thing
- Use EARLY– Cog stage of ML

Question 10

Feedback

Variable (random) Feedback

Answer 10

Multiple sources feedback provided; Feedback presented about diff segments on successive trials
- Ex. Heel strike AND push-off
- Use LATER ON, better for MASTERY

Question 11

Practice

Massed practice

Flip M–> W for Work

Answer 11

Rest time < Practice time aka More work, Less rest
- Use Later on

Question 12

DistRibuted practice

R for more Rest

Answer 12

Rest time >/= Practice time
- Ex. People w/ MS bc FATIGUE
- Use EARLY on

Question 13

Practice Sequence

Practice Sequence
- 2 types:

Answer 13

1. Blocked practice
2. Random

Question 14

Practice Sequence

Blocked practice
(its in the name)

Use EARLY

Answer 14

One task performed repeatedly

“Blocking out time for just that one task”

Question 15

Practice Sequence

Random practice
(its in the name)

Use LATER ON

Answer 15

Variety of tasks are ordered randomly, BUT all still similar tasks

Ex. STS– wt shift, glutes, knee ext, stand up, sit down

Question 16

Practice Order

Practice Order
- 3 types:

Answer 16

1. Blocked order
2. Serial order
3. Random order

Question 17

Practice Order

Blocked order

Use INITIALLY

Answer 17

Repeated practice of a task or group of tasks in order
- Ex. 111222333 (task 1, task 2, task 3)

“One task @ a time”

Question 18

Practice Order

Serial order

Answer 18

Predictable and repeating order– Practice multiple tasks in an order
- Ex. 123123123 (task 1, task 2, task 3)

Still same tasks, just in serial order

Question 19

Practice Order

Random order

Use LATER ON

Answer 19

NONrepeating and UNpredictable order of multiple tasks
- Ex. 123321312 (task 1, task 2, task 3)

Same 3 tasks, completely random

Question 20

Practice

Mental practice
(exactly what it sounds like)

If anxious, fearful, UNmotivated (like L. stroke)

Answer 20

Motor task is imagined or visualized w/out overt physical practice

Question 21

PRactice

Part/Whole Practice

Part vs Task! Dr. Cohen!

Answer 21

Component parts of a task are practiced BEFORE practice of Whole task

Question 22

Practice

Practice of lead-up activities

Ex. Goals: bed mob, sitting, stairs, walking

Answer 22

Simpler task versions of the required complex task are practiced

Question 23

Anxious, fearful, unmotivated—>

Answer 23

Mental practice FIRST!!!
