Psychological factors affecting Performance 2.1 Flashcards
2 types of Muscular Movement?
Gross - Large Muscle Movements - Shot Put
Fine - Intricate Movements - Snooker Shot
2 Types of Environmental Influence?
Open - Environment constantly changing - Skills in Ftball
Closed - Not affected by Environment - Free Throw
3 Types of Continuity?
Discrete - brief, well-defined, clear - A Penalty Flick
Serial - Group of skills to make complex move. - Triple J
Continuous - no obvious start or beginning - Swimming
2 Types of Pacing?
Externally Paced - pay attention to events - ball games
Internally Paced - Controls skills - Javelin Throw
2 Types of Difficulty?
Simple - straightforward with few Judgements - Swimmin
Complex - involve many decisions - Somersault
2 Types of Organisation?
Low - very easy and unorganised - Swimming Strokes
High - many sub routines - Cartwheel
Part Practise?
- Working on isolated sub routine
- Low Organisation
- Allow make sense of skill
- (Practicing Kicking)
Whole Practise?
- Taught without breaking down
- High Organisation
- Recognise Strengths
- (Sprinting and Dribbling)
Whole-Part-Whole Practise?
- Practising, Sub Routine, Practise
- Serial Skills
- Recognise Skills
- Practise whole stroke
Progressive-Part Practise?
- Skills broken down into sub, links then added
- Complex Skills
- Allow performer to learn links
- Gymnastics
Massed Practise?
- Short or no intervals
- Discrete Skills
- To groove Skills
- Jump Shot Practise
Distributed Practise?
- With Rest Intervals
- Continuous Skills
- Feedback and breaks
- Swimming length then pausing
Fixed Practise?
- Specific Sequence repeated lots
- Closed Skills
- Skills become habitual
- Discus
Varied Practise?
- Practised in many environments
- Open Skills
- Development of experiences
- Small sides game
Proactive Transfer of skills
-skill learned previously effects a skill yet to be learned
Retroactive Transfer of skills
-Learning a new skill affects a skill learned previously
Positive Transfer of skills
-learning and performance of one skill help other skill
Negative Transfer of skills
-learning and performance of one skill hinder other skill
Bilateral Transfer of Skills
-learning of one limb to another
How is Positive transfer used
- Coaches use this to inform similarities of two skills
- making sure basics of first skill learned first
How can Negative transfer be avoided
- making sure athlete is aware of diff
- Practise similar to game situation
2 ways Bilateral Transfer takes place
1) Cognitive aspects - why its required
2) Transfer of motor programme
Motor Skill
-action which has a GOAL and requires voluntary body movement, learned rather then innate
4 Learning Theories
1) Operant Conditioning
2) Thorndike’s Law
3) Cognitive theory of learning
4) Observational theory (Bandura’s)
What is Operant conditioning
- Trial and Error learning
- Correct response = rewarded
- reinforced correct response leading to change in behaviour
Example of Operant Conditioning
- Shooting practise aim for right hand corner
- If succeed, rewarded
What is Thorndike’s Law (3 laws)
- based on Strengthening S/R bond
1) Law of Effect
- positive reaction = strengthen
- Negative reaction = weakening
2) Law of Exercise
- rehearsing/repeating strengthens
3) Law of Readiness
- athlete must be mentally and physically ready
What is Cognitive theory
- Intervening variables and insight learning
- best achieved by premising whole skill
- understand skill as a whole
