Skill Aquisition Flashcards
Accuracy
The precision with which a skill or routine is executed
Ability
Refers to how well an individual can perform a movement or a sequence of movements
Acting
The doing phase int he learning process
Associative stage
The practice stage of learning
Augmented feedback
Relates to information that the athlete would not ordinarily receive e.g video replay of a performance
Autonomous stage
The automatic stage if learning
Blocked practice
Repetitive practice of the same task
Closed skills
Skills performances in a predictable environment E.g no factors such as Weather Opponents Faulty environment or equipment
Concurrent feedback
Received whilst perform anime the skill
Continuous skill
Has no distinct beginning or end
E.g walking, running, swimming
Deciding
Processing the information gained from the senses in the learning process
Delayed feedback
Received after completing a skill
Discrete motor skill
Skill that has a distinct beginning and end
Netball pass
Distributed practice
Rest periods are longer than practice periods
Ectomorph
A body type characterised by low body fat and muscle mass compared to height
Endomorph
A body type characterised by high body fat and low muscle mass compared to height
Executive plan
Our memory of movements that are required to perform a skill
External feedback
Feedback received by external forces. E.g coach, video, times
Externally paved skill
Timing of the movement is controlled by external forces e.g. Surfing - waves, batting in baseball - pitcher
Feedback
Information received from the performance of the skill
Externally
Internally
Fine motor skill
A skill involving small precise movements using Small muscle groups
E,g bouncing the ball in tennis, darts
Gross motor skill
A skill involving large muscle groups and big movements
E.g running and swimming
Intrinsic feedback
Feedback received from kinaethesis
Knowledge of Performance KP
Information lined to the outcome of a skill
Kinaethesis
The feedback received from muscles and tendon receptors about the body’s position in space
Knowledge of Results
Info linked to the pattern of movements used to execute a skill
Learning environment
Refers to the factors apart from the learner
Learning process
The cyclic process of skill learning
Massed practice
Extended practice sessions with relatively short rest periods
Mental practice
The use of mental rehearsal and visulaization
Mesomorph
A body type characterised by high muscle mass and low body fat compared to height
Motivation
The drive from within
Negative feedback
This occurs when the skill attempt is unsuccessful
Open skill
Skills performed in an unpredictable environment
Part practice
Practice where the skill is broken down and learnt in parts
Perceiving
A step in the learning process where information is collected by the senses
Positive feedback
This occurs when the skill is performed correctly
Proprioception
Sensory info relayed from inside the muscle
Physical practice
Involves motor practice to practice a skill
Random practice
Varied sequence of different motor skills in the same training session
E.g. Dig, set, spike, set, spike, dig
Positive transfer of learning
Prior experience of the same or re
lasted tasks that aid in skill learning
Reaction time
The delay between a stimulus and the invitation of movement
Self paced skill
Skills where the performer is in control of timing and the speed of execution
Serial skill
A skill that consists of sub routines
E.g, gymnast performing a floor routine
Skill
A sequence of movements that are learnt through practice and have a definite outcome
Somatotype
Body shapes,
Linear - ectomorph - marathon, high jump
Round - endomorph- hammer throw, discus
Square - mesomorph - sprinter, EVERYTHING ELSE
Speed practice
Practice that focuses on increasing the rate of execution
Subroutine
Parts of a skill
Whole practice
Practicing the skill in its entirety
