WEEK 4: Modelling Flashcards
Which source of SE is modelling apart of?
Vicarious Experience
What are the four processes of modelling?
- attention
- retention
- production
- motivation
How is modelling related to SE?
when individuals see others succeed or fail, it provides them with information which they can use as a basis for comparison in similar situations
it is a powerful source for individual competence
What are the six characteristics of modelling?
- similarity
- types
- frequency
- amount of participants
- augmenting information with modelling (visual)
- skill of the observer
Model-observer likeness is what characteristic of modelling
similarity
What are the two “types” of models?
- skilled
2. unskilled
Which “type” of model is better? skilled or unskilled?
Unskilled (learning) model can be just as effective as long the observer is provided with the proper feedback when watching the unskilled model
According to Sidaway and Hand who often should you watch a demo?
more frequent demonstrations are seen to be more effective
What is a Dyad?
it is when two people are working together - partners alternate physically practising and observing the task
what are the two types of characteristics augmenting information with modelling
- auditory
2. verbal
What were the results of Starkes (1987) experiment that examined structured vs. unstructured dance sequences with expert and novice dansers
experts and novices performed equally as well on unstructured dance sequences
experts out performed novices on structured sequences
this is due to domain specific knowledge
according to Schunk (1987) what is more important? choosing a similar model or a performer with greater mastery
chosing a model similar to the observer
what are the postive effects found in using peer models
- increased cognitive skill learning
- self-confidence
- motivation
what kind of model should be used for a highly skilled observer?
a skilled athlete with a high level of confidence should observe someone who demostates a nearly flawless performance - high level of ability and low difficulty with the task
what type of model should a less experienced model or a model experiencing fear or doubt observe?
they may benifit from a coping model who expresses cognitions, behaviours and emotions that are consistent with a task with a task percieved as difficult or fearful
why is it important to not only consider the physical characterisitics of a model but also the psycological charateristics
a less experienced or less confident athlete may benifit from a coping model who expresses cognitions, behaviours and emotions consistant with the task
