Performance
Term
Learning does not =?
Definition
performance
Term
_______ produces reliable performance changes.
Definition
Motor Learning
Term
Motor learning may not lead to _______ ______.
Definition
Performance, Improvement
Term
Motor learning is a _____ by which the ______ for produceing movement performance adn the actual movement performance are ______ changed through instruction, _____ and/or experience.
Definition
Process, Capability, Reliably, Practice
Term
What does Adam's closed loop theory rely heavily on to guide learning?
Definition
Feedback
Term
Adams closed loop theory assumed the existence of what two memory states?
Definition

- The memory trace

- The perception trace

Term
Selects and initiates a plan of action in Adams closed loops theory.
Definition
The memory trace
Term
What compares the movement in progress with a correct memory of the movement in Adams closed loop theory.
Definition
The perceptual trace
Term
What was considered essential for learning in Adam's closed loop theory?
Definition
The strengthening of the two memory states
Term
This theory uses the GMP, and has invariant and variant features.
Definition
Schema theory
Term
Is used to guide the planning and execution of a broad variety of movements in the Schema theory.
Definition
GMP - Abstract representation of movement
Term
In the Schema theory what feature represents the order of events, relative timing, and relative force?
Definition
Invariant feature
Term
This theory is involved in the production of movement.
Definition
Schema theory
Term
What 4 important pieces of information were extracted from every performance to develop recall and recognition schemata?
Definition

- Initial conditions

- Specific movement parameters

- Sensory consequences

- Actual movement outcome

Term
This theory states; Once abstracted, certain rules or, principals of operation could be developed and used to guide action.
Definition
Schema theory
Term
This theory states; The idea that learners seek to discover the lawful properties of the environment is central.
Definition
Ecological theories of perception and action
Term
This theory emphasizes the changing relationship between the perception and the action environment.
Definition
Ecological theories
Term
This theory states that the end product of learning is not a memory based representation of the action.
Definition
Ecological theories
Term
What are Reissman's 3 learner styles?
Definition

- Visual

- Aural

- Physical

Term
What are 3 neurological changes with learning?
Definition

- Cortical representations

- Brain chemistry

- Morphological changes

Term

The 4 weakness of this theory are;

- Predictions were tested only using slow, linear pisitioning movements

- Can't account for deafferentation studies

- Storage problem

- Novelty problem

Definition
Adams closed loop theory
Term
This theory of motor learning stores parameters.
Definition
Schema theory
Term
This theory is a closed loop, slow, dependent on feedback, memory and perceptual trace.
Definition
Adams closed loop theory
Term
This theory of motor learning does not have any memory representation.
Definition
Ecological
Term

The 3 weaknesses of this theory are;

- Cannot explain development of new patters of coordination

- Unable to account for spontaneous compensations to changes in environment

- Overemphasizes the role of cognitive processes

Definition
Schema theory
Term
What 4 things affect the shape of a performance curve?
Definition

- Nature of the task

- The learner

- The conditions

- How it was measured

Term
When do ceiling nad floor effects occur?
Definition
when task is too easy or too difficult
Term
What 4 things cause a learning plateau?
Definition

- Transition between performance strategies

- Prerequisite skills not aquired

- Psychological factors

- Physical factors/readiness

Term
What are the 4 psychological factors that cause learning plateau?
Definition

- Inability to control emotional arousal

- lack of motivation

- personal problems

-fear of failure

Term
This law states that the higher the level of expertise and the time spent on the task, the more difficult it is to improve.
Definition
The Power Law of Practice
Term
What are 4 limitations of performance curves?
Definition

- Do not provide evidence for reliable learning

- Sources other than learning can contribute to the changes

- Differences in performers masked

- Differences between trials within the same person are masked

Term
How would a retention test be performed?
Definition
After period of time the task is performed without feedback
Term
This test measures the performer's ability to adapt what they have learned to different conditions.
Definition
Transfer test
Term
What can transfer tests determine?
Definition

- If performace changes are permanent or temporary

- The direction of transfer

- Generalizability of transfer

Term
______ is the increased dificulty as a result of introducing three or more tasks in the same practice session.
Definition
Contextual Interference
Term
The practioner must decide what 2 things?
Definition

- How many practices a week

- How to space practice between each session

Term
Distributed Practice is what?
Definition
rest time is equal to greater than practice time
Term
What is Massed Practice?
Definition
practice time is considerably higher than rest time
Term
Do distributed or massed practices produce immediate improvements in performance?
Definition
Distributed
Term
What 4 things should be considered when decided a practice schedule?
Definition

 - The type of skill to be learned

- The goal of each practice

- The skill of the learner

- The number and length of practices

Term
What are 3 instructional techniques that can be used to improve practice?
Definition

- Guidance techniques

- Whole vs. Part task strategies

- Attentional Cueing and whole practice

Term
What are 3 types of guidance techniques?
Definition

- Range

- Physical

- Manual

Term
If manual guidance is over used what can happen?
Definition
it can have negative consequences on learning
Term
Factors to consider when decideing how much contextual interference is appropriate for a practice session.
Definition

- Task Characteristics

- Learner Characteristics

Term
What are 4 learner characteristics to consider regarding contextual interference?
Definition

Term
Can serve as important psychological support.
Definition
