Skill Acquisation✅ Flashcards
What are the 6 classification of skills
Difficulty (simple-complex)
Environmental influence (open-closed)
Pacing (self paced-externally paced)
Muscular involvement (gross-fine)
Continuity (discrete-serial-continuous)
Organization (high organization-low organization)
Give example of pacing classification of skill
Self paced= javelin throw
Externally paced= reviving a serve in badminton
Give an example of continuity classification of skills
Discrete= penalty flick in hockey
Serial= triple jump
Continuous= cycling
Give an example of organization skill classification
High organization= dribbling a basketball
Low organization= tennis serve
What is part practice, when is it used, why is it used, example
Working on a isolated sub-routine with the aim of perfecting it
With skills that are low in organization- easily broken down into spectate sub routines, if the task is complex and dangerous
Allows performers to make sense of a skill and gain confidence, reduce possibility of overload
Practicing the backswing only in the tennis serve
What is whole practice, when is it used, why is it used, example
Skills being taught without breaking down into sub-routines or parts
With skills that are high in organization and need to be taught as a whole
Allows learner to experience the feel of the skill- kinaesthesis
Sprinting and dribbling, golf swing
What is whole part whole practice, when is it used, why is it used, example
Practicing the whole skill, then practicing a sub routine in isolation, then practicing the whole skill again
With serial skills or skills with low organization when sub-routines have distinct features
To recognize strengths and weakness then correct specific skill, allows some feel of the skill
Practice who swimming stroke, then leg kick in isolation, then practice whole stroke again
What is progressive- part practice, when is it used, why is it used, example
Skills broken down into sub-routines; performer learns one link then a second link, and practices these then further links are added
With complex skills as it reduces information load, low organization skills, good for serial skills
Helpful to allow performer to learn links between sub-routines and transfer these skills into the whole
Gymnastics floor routine
What is massed practice, when is it used, why is it used, examples
Practice sessions with very short or no rest intervals
Good for discrete skills of short duration, with highly motivated performers with good fitness levels
To groove skills, king sessions used when coach wants to simulate elements of fatigue
Basketball player practices shooting by doing drills that involve many shots from different positions around the key
Give an example of a gross and fine skill
Gross: shot put
Fine: snooker shot
Give an example of an open and closed skill
Open: long pass in football
Closed: basketball free-throw
What is distributed practice
Involves relatively long rests between trials, eg basketball drills, players could play table tennis, however rest periods should not involve activities which could lead to negative transfer.
What is fixed practice
Involves a stable and predictable practice environment, with practice conditions remaining unchanging or fixed, eg a badminton player might repeatedly practice short flick serve into opponents sevice box
What is varied practice
Practice needs to be varied so performer can come into contact with range of experiences. Relevant experiences are stored in long term memory and can be used to modify Motor programs in the future.
What is positive transfer
One skill can help in learning of performance of another
What is negative transfer
A skill may hinder the learning or performance of another skill
