Classification of Skills
This skill involves a series of discrete actions performed in a sequence, like a gymnastics routine.
What is a serial skill?
In this stage, performers start to refine their skills and reduce errors, but still require considerable concentration.
What is the associative stage?
This type of practice involves varying the conditions and drills, such as practicing different types of shots in basketball.
What is random practice?
A skill that involves the continuous repetition of movements, such as swimming or running, is known as this.
What is a continuous skill?
This stage of learning is characterized by automatic execution of the skill with minimal conscious thought.
What is the autonomous stage?
A swimmer practicing a full lap of the pool each time rather than breaking it down into segments is using this type of practice.
What is whole practice?
Skills that are performed in a stable, predictable environment are classified as this.
What are closed skills?
A golfer who has just started learning how to putt is likely in this stage of learning.
What is the cognitive stage?
Breaking down a complex skill into smaller components and practicing each part separately is known as this type of practice.
What is part practice?
The classification for skills that involve large muscle groups and involve a high level of physical effort, such as lifting weights.
What are gross motor skills?
An experienced marathon runner who performs running with a high degree of efficiency and minimal mental effort is in this stage.
What is the autonomous stage?
A method of practice where an athlete alternates between various skills or drills to improve their overall performance, rather than focusing on one skill at a time, is called this.
What is random practice?
This type of skill is characterized by performing a specific movement with a clear beginning and end, such as a kick in soccer.
What is a discrete skill?
At this stage, learners are just beginning to understand the basic movements and concepts of a skill.
What is the cognitive stage?
Practicing a basketball shot repeatedly in isolation without changing drills or conditions is an example of this type of practice.
What is blocked practice?
