Week 12: Principles of Motor Learning Flashcards
verbal cognitive stage
child will learn the goals of tx, child tries to understand to produce movements required for each sound
motor stage
child develops motor programs for each movement; movements become more accurate and efficient over time; movement becomes smoother and timing of movement improves
autonomous stage
movement gesture is accurate and efficiently produced but we want to improve automaticity of movement
prepractice phase
understanding client perceptual abilities
focus on functionally relevant goals
focus on identifying methods to increase motivation
prepares the client and preps for what is to come
principles of practice
length of sessions
random vs. blocked practice
mass vs. distributed practice
focus on output vs. individual movement
blocked practice
practice of one target; may be more effective in initial learning stage than random practice
random practice
several target treatment; may result in greater generalization
mass practice
fewer sessions, longer duration
distributed practice
shorter sessions, more frequently
block practice is good ___________
initially; then we want to move to random practice
intrinsic feedback
tactile (feeling of touch)
proprioceptive (awareness of position of movement in space)
extrinsic feedback
knowledge of performance or knowledge of results
knowledge of performance
specific input
- specific feedback about hw movement was performed
knowledge of results
correct vs. incorrect feedback
- providing information about success of movement
timing of feedback options
- terminal KR delay interval
- post KR interval
- concurrent feedback
- immediate vs. summary KR
