week 8 Flashcards
2 types of augmented feedback
- knowledge of performance
- knowledge of results
what is the theory connected to reference of correctness
adams theory
reference of correctness
used to calculate error based on sensory feedback
- developed by experience with movement and KR (perceptual trace)
2 -state theory of motor learning, reference of correctness
memory trace and a perceptual trace
memory trace, reference of correctness
recall of the motor program and the initiation of the response
- it is open-loop part of the motor program
- responsible for action initiation
perceptual trace, reference of correctness
generated by the memory trace once action is initiated an used for feedback evaluation
adams closed loop motor learning
KR is a source of info that is used to correct the motor response
what does repeated exposure to KR and the processing of error do
eventually lead to the desired response
perceptual trace, closed loop motor
reference or memory about prior experiences
perceptual trace is used with?
sensory feedback and KR to produce an error
perceptual trace must be?
acquired and refined with practice
2-stage of motor learning closed loop
verbal motor stage
motor stage
verbal motor stage
the stage of learning where one uses the perceptual trace in combination with KR for error detection and correction
motor stage
the error provided by KR is small, and there is a strengthened perceptual trace
forgetting
a weakening of the perceptual trace and memory trace
main idea of Adams theory
refinement after a memory action is made
schmidit 1989
- longer summaries were better for overall learning than shorter summariers
what did schmidit 1989 find
shorter summaries were better for learning than longer summariers
overall conclusion about schmidit 1989
the optimal summary length may be task-specific and experience specific
gaudagnoli 1996 for novices
- larger summariers are better than smaller ones (simple tasks)
- smaller summariers are better than larger ones (complex tasks)
gaudagnoli 1996 for experience performers
- larger summaries are better for complex and simple tasks
what is the effect of delaying and presenting summary KR on learning?
the impact of delaying trial by trial KR on learning
- when you delay KR- the inter trial interval also increased (potential confound)
thorndike 1953
- larger delays decreased the likihood that the reward stimululs would produce conditioning
thorndike 1953 conclusion
that delays were detrimental to learning
salmoni et all 1984
reviewed humor motor learning experiments
salmoni et all 1984 results
found that delaying KR did not affect leanring
- found that instanteous KR did affect learning
KR delay interval
the learner is trying to remember KR
maslovat 2009
- examined the role of discrete VS continuous feedback on a circle drawing task
- tested participants in retention and transfer tests
- immediate retention
- delayed (1 week) retention, with and without feedback
discrete feedback
feedback at movement endpoint
concurrent/continous FB
FB during entire movement
results maslovat 2009
- found support the guidance hypothesis
- continuous feedback enhanced performance but was detrimental to learning under new conditions
- found evidence for the specificity of practice hypothesis
- participant who practiced with concurrent feedback did better in tests
immediate KR
- detrimental to learning
post- KR delay interval
the time between the presentation of KR and the next movement
- where the learner is preparing the subsequent movement
finding about shortening the post KR delay
suggest that reducing this period does not affect learning if the KR delay is held constant
the time between _____ appears most important for movement correction
movement end and KR
marteniuk 1986
- investigated interference during the KR-delay period
- high level processes ( cognitive process associated with learning) interfered with KR processing)
how is interfernece during the KR-delay period different from CI
CI happens after all tasks and feedback are done
- you aren’t interfering the feedback and movement that’s why interference is affecting learning
interference in the KR-delay interval that
impair the evaluation of the movement seem to affect leanrning
a retention of the movement information (at least in short term memory) is required for
KR processing
what does interference reduce?
the capacity of memory systems to evaluate inherent feedback and detect error
asking participants to evaluate their own errors during the KR-delay interval. Hogan and Yanowitz (1978)
- used a ballistic timing task and asked some patients to estimate their own errors
- group 1: estimated moveemnt time
- group 2: nonsense letters
results Hogan and Yanowitz (1978)
estimating own error led to better performance
gaugangoli and kohl, 2001 supported the estimating own error
- 100% KR and 100% error estimate
- 20% KR and 100% error estimate
- 100% KR and 20% error estimate
- 20% KR and 0% estimate
results gaugangoli and kohl, 2001
100% est and 100% KR- BEST
0% est and 100% KR- WORST
subjective estimation
can help participants learn to use inherent feedback with KR
about subjective estimation
- may prevent guidance effect
- reduced relative frequency was more effective in the absence of KR
