IQ: How does the acquisition of skill affect performances?
- Stages of skill acquisition
- Characteristics of the learner
- The learning environment
- Assessment of skill and performance
Stages of skill acquisition
- cognitive
- associative
- autonomous
Characteristics of the learner
CHAPP
- confidence
- hereditary
- ability
- personality
- prior experience
The learning environment
- nature of the skill (open, closed, gross, fine, discrete, serial, continuous, self-paced, externally paced)
- The performance elements (decision making, strategic and tactical development)
- practice method (massed, distributed, whole, part)
- feedback (Internal, external, concurrent, delayed, knowledge of results, knowledge of performance)
Assessment of skill and performance
COPV
- characteristics of skilled performers, eg kinaesthetic sense, anticipation, consistency, technique
- objective and subjective performance measures
- personal versus prescribed judging criteria
- validity and reliability of tests
