Define the Associative Stage of Learning.
The second stage of learning as motor programmes are developed and performance is smoother.
Define the Autonomous Stage of Learning.
The final stage of learning used by an expert when movement is detailed and specific.
Define Plateau.
A period of no improvement in performance.
Define Learning Curve.
A graph showing how the rate of learning a closed skill over a period of time can vary.
Define Drive Reduction.
An end-of-task period when performance may get worse.
Define Feedback.
Information to aid error correction.
Define Positive Feedback.
Encouragement.
Define Negative Feedback.
Error correction.
Define Extrinsic Feedback.
Error correction.
Define Intrinsic Feedback.
From within.
Define Knowledge of Results.
