Week 8.1 - KR Scheduling and Presentation Flashcards
two types of augmented feedback
- KR
- KP
why is summary KR better than trial by trial KR?
allows person to develop their own method of assessing performance (reference of correctness)
reference of correctness
used to calculate error based on sensory feedback
- developed by experience with movement and KR (perceptual trace)
adams 1971
proposed a 2-state theory of motor learning
adams 2-states from the 2-state theory of motor learning
- memory trace
- perceptual trace
memory trace
the recall of the motor program and the initiation of the response
- open loop part of the motor program
- response for action initiation
perceptual trace
generated by the memory trace once action is initiated and used for feedback evaluation
2 stages of motor learning
- verbal-motor stage
- motor-stage
***progress from verbal-motor stage to motor stage due to practice
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
(so accurate that augmented feedback does nothing)
forgetting
a weakening of the perceptual trace and memory trace
adams closed-loop theory
- memory trace (initiate action)
- movements
- perceptual trace
- feedback
- control centre (modifies memory trace)
**back up to memory trace
optimal summary length schmidt et al, 1989
longer summaries (15 trials) were better for overall learning than shorter summaries
optimal summary length schmidt et al, 1990
shorter summaries (5 trials) were better for learning than longer summaries (15 trials)
optimal summary length characteristics
may be task-specific and experience specific (gaudagnoli et al, 1996)
guadagnoli et al, 1996 - optimal summary length for simple tasks
longer summaries = better learning for novices
guadagnoli et al, 1996 - larger summaries
better for
1. novice performing simple tasks
2. experienced performing complex tasks
guadagnoli et al, 1996 - novices
- larger summaries are better than smaller ones for simple tasks
- smaller summaries are better than larger ones for complex tasks
guadagnoli et al, 1996 - experienced performers
larger summaries are better for complex and simple tasks
what is the impact of delaying trial by trial KR (immediate) on learning?
- when you delay KR the ITI (inter-trial interval) is also increased which is a potential compound
- also delays the start of the new trial (taking more time between trials)
thorndike (1935) findings
- larger delays decreased the likelihood that the reward stimulus would produce conditioning
-2. concluded that delays were detrimental to learning
salmoni et al, 1984 study description
reviewed human motor learning experiments
salmoni et al, 1984 findings
- delaying KR did not affect learning
- instantaneous KR did affect learning
KR-delaying interval
the learner is trying to remember KR
maslovat 2009 study description
- examined the role of discrete vs. continuous feedback on a circle drawing task
- tested participants performance in R+T tests
discrete feedback
feedback at movement endpoint
continuous feedback
feedback during the movement
maslovat et al, 2009 results
- continuous feedback enhanced performance but was detrimental to learning under new conditions (guidance hypothesis)
- participants who practiced with concurrent feedback did better in tests with concurrent feedback (specificity for practice hypothesis)
post-KR delay interval
the time between the presentation of KR and the next movement (where the learner is preparing the next movement)
- a time where the learner is more creative and is using KR effectively
shortening the post-KR delay
research suggests that reducing this period does not affect learning if the KR-delay is held constant
