Learning
Refers to the translation of this potentiality into behavior
Performance
A low degree of stress is associated with __________
low performance
High stress can set the system into __________ which leads to less brain activity in the cortical areas where higher-level learning happens
fight-or-flight mode
Learning without understanding e.g. memorization
Rote Learning
Learning with understanding
Rational Learning
The adaptation of movement to stimuli relating to speed and precision of performance
Motor Learning
Is learning through establishing RELATIONSHIP
Associational Learning
