Structuring and Organizing Practice III

Question 1

Learner determined

control group

experimented determined

results: learning and retention were the highest in….? they also used what type of feedback

Answer 1

Learner-Determined Group: Best learning and retention

Control Group: Worst learning and retention.

Experimenter-Determined
Group: Reduced learning and retention compared to learner-determined group.

Learning and retention were highest in the learner-determined feedback group. They also self-selected to use tapered feedback.

Question 2

guidance group

terminal knowledge of performace

concurrent knowledge of performance

guidance and concurrent retain…
terminal KP retain…? shows the best… despite the worst

Answer 2

Guidance Group: Real-time feedback + physical/haptic guidance

Concurrent KP: Real- time feedback of movement pattern displayed on computer monitor.

Terminal KP:
Feedback displayed on computer monitor only after the trial is completed.

Guidance and Concurrent KP retain
the least amount of learning.

Terminal KP shows the best retention of learning despite worst performance during practice.

Question 3

Summary feedback
it can help…

too much or too little feedback can..

summary feedback may force learners to…
may produce more stable…
may give the learner more reliable info…

Answer 3

Feedback provided after a series of trials that informs learners about each of the attempts in the series.

Summary feedback can help prevent the learning becoming dependent on feedback

too much or too little feedback can impair learning and retention. GOLDILOCKS ZONE

2. May force learner to focus on proprioception and vision to detect their own errors.
3. May produce more stable movement patterns and strengthen motor programs.
4. Gives the learner more reliable information about what to change and how to change it.

Question 4

Average feedback

more feedback will…
feedback on every trial also will

AVERAGE FEEDBACK:
may help to prevent…
may help the instructor develop…
provides more reliable info about…

Answer 4

Feedback provided after a series of trials that informs learners about their average performance.

Feedback: On average your serves were 1 m short

More feedback = better performance in practice.
Feedback on every trial can reduce retention

1. Average feedback may help prevent or minimize feedback-dependency.
2. May help instructor to develop better understanding of what kinds of errors the learner typically makes.
3. Average feedback likely provides more reliable information about what needs to change and how to change it.
