Q

What is the Schema Theory ?

A

Suggests that learning a skill is done by taking existing motor programmes in LTM for core principles and adapting them to suit the environment by using the feedback from the senses.

Q

What are the parameters of schema ?

A

• Initial conditions - info from environment that needs to be recognised before schema is used. ‘Where am I?’
• Response specifications - info used to assess available options for performer ‘What do I need to do?’
• Sensory consequences - use of senses to to help guide the movement ‘How can I adjust?’
• Response outcome - schema may have to be adapted in the future based on the results of the skill

Q

What is Hick’s Law?

A

As the number of of stimuli to choose increases, the longer the reaction time is. Not always a linear relationship though because becoming familiar with the environment will make the response time a little quicker.

73
Q

Define the cognitive stage of learning

A

The first stage of learning used by a novice. Trial and error is what explores understanding and sub-routines. The performer may use extrinsic feedback to guide them. Motor programmes not formed.

74
Q

Define the associative stage of learning

A

The second stage of learning as motor programmes are developed and performance is smoother. It is of a longer duration than the cognitive stage. To make progress in this stage, a lot of practice is required. Feedback is more intrinsic as they compare themselves to elite players and adjust their technique.

75
Q

What is the autonomous stage of learning

A

The final stage of learning used by elite athletes, where movement is detailed and specific. All motor programmes fully developed, making skills fluent, efficient and almost automatic in nature but practice is required to maintain this standard.

76
Q

Define feedback

A

Information to aid error correction

77
Q

Define positive feedback

A

Entails information about what was good, providing motivation to maintain effort. Often combined with praise.

78
Q

Define negative feedback

A

Entails information as to what is going wrong so errors can be corrected and bad habits are eliminated - more appreciated with more experience

79
Q

Define extrinsic feedback

A

Entails information from an outside source - needed more so for beginners as they may not know what is good / bad

80
Q

Define intrinsic feedback

A

Entails info from within - used by elite athletes as they have developed a sense of kinesthesis so they know what they have done wrong

81
Q

Define knowledge of results

A

Information that comes as an initial outcome of the attempted skill e.g. did the pass reach the target?

82
Q

Define knowledge of performance

A

Information that is an analysis of the performance e.g. why did the pass not reach the target?

83
Q

What is a plateau?

A

A period of no improvement in performance

84
Q

List the causes of of the learning plateau

A
  1. Lack of motivation
  2. Boredom
  3. Coaching
  4. Limit of ability
  5. Targets set too low
  6. Fatigue
85
Q

List the possible solutions to the learning plateau

A

• task extended to set new and higher targets and goals
• find new coach
• coach offer more praise and positive reinforcement for motivation
• take rest
• add variety to task
• explain concept of plateau so they don’t allow their performance to follow the trend
• get feedback

86
Q

What is visual guidance?

A

Guidance that can be seen, a demonstration. Used for beginners, creating mental picture in their head if what the skill looks like. Should be seen within capabilities of player, should be another player demonstrating of similar ability to maintain motivation. Should be shown from different angles and mental rehearsal should be used.

87
Q

What are the advantages of visual guidance?

A

• can be used to highlight weakness
• in conjunction with verbal guidance
• creates mental image

88
Q

What are the disadvantages of visual guidance?

A

• must be completely correct or could be copied incorrectly
• too much information could confuse the performer

89
Q

What is verbal guidance?

A

An explanation of how to perform a skill. This aids visual guidance to create better image in performer’s head. Used for both beginners and elite athletes (more technical and tactical points and feedback given)

90
Q

What are the advantages of verbal guidance?

A

• aids visual guidance to create a better image in performer’s head
• technical terms can be used for more experienced players
• appropriate for performers of all levels

91
Q

What are the disadvantages of verbal guidance ?

A

• too much info = info overload = confusion
• if it is not brief, player can lose concentration
• language of coach needs to be understandable especially beginners e.g. not using as technical terms
• feedback: coach needs to consider what type is needed for what performer

92
Q

What is manual guidance?

A

Physical support given to a performer to aid completion of skill/part of skill.

93
Q

What are the advantages of manual guidance?

A

• reduces danger
• build confidence of performer who can’t get feel of skill with no support

94
Q

What are the disadvantages of manual guidance?

A

• can become too reliant on the support
• lose confidence when attempting without support

95
Q

What is mechanical guidance?

A

96
Q

What are the advantages of mechanical guidance?

A

• builds confidence
• eliminates danger
• gives an early feel for the skill
• can be used for disabled athletes or those recovering from injury

97
Q

What are the disadvantages of mechanical guidance?

A

• if used for too long, can affect the feel of the skill

Q

What is operant conditioning?

A

The use of reinforcement to ensure the correct responses are repeated

99
Q

Who’s pioneering work came to operant conditioning and when was it done?

A

Skinner in 1948

100
Q

What is a satisfied?

A

An action that promotes a pleasant feeling so actions are repeated

101
Q

What is an annoyed?

A

An action that creates unease to promote avoidance of the incorrect response

102
Q

Define positive reinforcement

A

A pleasant stimulus after the correct response e.g. rewards like swimming 25m in a pool is given a certificate to provide motivation to have more success

103
Q

Define negative reinforcement

A

Taking away an unpleasant stimulus after the correct response e.g. negative criticism / shouting stops when the correct technique of a skill is being performed, to encourage repetition of that technique

104
Q

Define punishment

A

An unpleasant stimulus to prevent incorrect actions reoccurring e.g. red card in football

105
Q

Who researched observational learning and when did they do it?

A

Albert Bandura in 1977

106
Q

What is the concept of observational learning?

A

It suggests that both acceptable and unacceptable behaviour can be learned by watching and copying others.

107
Q

What did Bandura say the 4 factors were that were needed to increase the probability of a performer copying a model?

A
  1. Attention
  2. Retention
  3. Motor production
  4. Motivation
108
Q

What is attention and how does it increase the likelihood of someone copying a model?

A

• Attention = making the demonstration attractive to the performer
• by making the demonstration loud, clear, bright, accurate it will make it more memorable for the performer
• explain why they should perform this skill attracts them to remember it in a game situation

109
Q

What is retention and how does it increase the likelihood of someone copying a model?

A

• retention = remembering the demonstration and being able to recall it
• breaking info in smaller chunks and repeating it ensures they have a high chance of remembering it all
• using a role model performing the skill makes sure it is completely accurate and easier to remember - straight after this demonstration, make sure they attempt the skill as it is fresh in their mind

110
Q

What is motor production and how does it increase the likelihood of someone copying a model?

A

• motor production = having the mental and physical ability to do the task
• making easy tasks allows success before moving on to make progress

111
Q

What is motivation and how does it increase the likelihood of someone copying a model?

A

• motivation = having the drive to perform a task / copy the task
• by using praise / positive feedback and reinforcement when copying tasks, it motivates the player to do this more

112
Q

What are the additional factors contributing to the likelihood of copying a skill?

A

• task is appropriate to social norms / performed by others of similar abilities
• they are reinforced
• they are powerful (visually and physically)
• they are consistent
• they are relevant

113
Q

Who looked at the social development theory and when did they do this ?

A

Vygotsky in 1978

114
Q

What is social development?

A

Learning by association with others

115
Q

Define inter-psychological learning

A

Learning from others externally e.g. skills learned from a coach

116
Q

Define intra-psychological learning

A

Once absorbed externally e.g. from a coach, it is the learning that comes from within.

117
Q

What is Vygotky’s theory of constructivism?

A

Building on what you know in order to learn

118
Q

What is the zone of proximal development and what are the stages?

A

• it is the next stage of learning based on the performer’s needs, expectations and current level performance
• stages are:
- what can I do alone?
- what can I do with help?
- what can I not do yet?

119
Q

Who suggested the theory of Insight learning?

A

A group of German psychologists called ‘Gestalts’

120
Q

What is Insight learning?

A

Using experience and understanding to solve problems relating to the whole skill

121
Q

What are the advantages of Insight learning?

A

• concentrates on whole,task so is realistic for game situations
• as problem is worked out by the athlete = self-satisfaction and intrinsic motivation
• develops cognitive process as they think for themselves
• better than a coach teaching them as they fully understand the reasons for performing task
• generate specific role for performer
