25
Define variable practice
* Variable practice: Repeatedly changing practice type, drills, or situation.
26
Define insight learning
The theory aims to develop a performer’s learning by understanding the relationship between the sub-routines or different factors that may influence the whole problem rather than learning specific movement patterns.
27
Define learning plateau
A period where no improvement is made in performance.
28
Define observational learning
This theory states we learn via watching others. Bandura’s model suggests 4 factors which affect the success of observation learning
29
Define positive reinforcement
Positive reinforcement: Introduction of a desirable stimulus following the correct response.
30
Define negative reinforcement
Negative reinforcement: The removal of an undesirable stimulus after the correct response
31
Define punishment
* Punishment: Introduction of an undesirable stimuli after the incorrect response.
32
Define cognitive stage of learning
Cognitive stage of learning: This is the first stage where learning is very much trial and error. The performer lacks a clear mental image of what the skill should look like so learns through observing others to develop understanding of the relationships between subroutines. Large errors will often be made.
33
Define intrinsic feedback
Feedback from within the performer.
34
Define knowledge of performance
Feedback about the execution of the skill.
35
Define knowledge of resultd
Feedback about the outcome of the skill.
36
Define manual guidance
A coach can physically support an athlete during a movement.
37
Define mechanical guidance
The use of artificial aids to support an athlete during a movement.
38
Define negative feedback
Feedback about what went wrong. The correction of errors.
39
Define positive feedback
Feedback about what went well.
40
Define verbal guidance
Using spoken words to bring about an improvement in performance.
41
Define visual guidance
Providing information which can be observed to bring about an improvement in performance.
42
Define temporal anticipation
* Temporal anticipation: Refers to the timing of an action or when something will occur.
43
Define spatial anticipation
* Spatial anticipation: Where an individual thinks an action will occur.
44
Define central executive
Central executive: The control centre of the working memory. It directs information to the other sub systems.
45
Define episodic buffer
Episodic buffer: Acts as a link between the other two sub systems to create sequences that can be compared to or stored in the long term memory.
46
Define phonological loop
* Phonological loop: Deals with sounds.
47
Define visuospatial sketchpad
Visuospatial sketchpad: Deals with information which can be seen and understanding where things are taking place in relation to each other.D
48
Define Hick's Law
The more choices there are the slower reaction time.
49
Define chunking
* Chunking: Breaking actions into sub routines or parts so they can be more easily recalled.
50
Define chaining
* Chaining: Linking bits of information together so it can be stored as one item.
51
Define perception
The process of filtering and making sense of sensory information.
52
Define psychological refractory period
The delay in response to the second of two closely spaced stimuli.
53
Define single channel hypothesis
suggests that the brain can only deal with one piece of information at a time
54
Define simple reaction time
* Simple reaction time: The time taken to start a single response to a single stimulus.
55
Define choice reaction time
Choice reaction time: The time taken between a stimulus and an action which requires a choice
56
Define recall schema
Recall schema initiates the action, occurring before the movement:
57
Define initial conditions
* Initial conditions: Information from the environment eg about where the performer is.
58
Define response specification
* Response specifications: Information about what the performer needs to do.
59
Define recognition schema
Recognition schema controls the action, occurring after the movement:
60
Define sensory consequence
* Sensory consequences: Information about how the movement felt.
61
Define response outcome
* Response outcomes: Information about what happened.
62
Define selective attention
Filtering information to identify what are perceived to be relevant stimuli and ignore stimuli deemed irrelevant
63
64
Define extrinsic feedback
Feedback from external sources.
65
Define autonomous stage of learning
Autonomous stage of learning: Performance of skills can be completed with little thought allowing the performer to concentrate on other aspects such as tactics and strategies. Intrinsic feedback is highly developed so the performer can self-correct. They’re very few, if any smaller errors in skill execution.
66
Define associative stage of learning
Associative stage of learning: Associative learners are in the practice stage. They will have developed a mental image of the skill but will still be reliant on some external feedback. They are starting to develop intrinsic feedback by comparing their performance to others. Though errors are still evident they are smaller and there are fewer of them.
