Category 1: Learning or Performance
A relatively permanent change in behavior.
What is learning?
This theory focuses on observable behavior and the external environment.
What is behaviorist theory?
The first stage of motor learning.
What is the cognitive phase?
A self-paced skill performed under stable conditions.
What is a closed skill?
This increases consistency of performance.
What is practice?
A temporary demonstration of a skill.
What is performance?
This theory focuses on how learners select, use, interpret, and store information.
What is information processing?
During this stage, the learner begins refining the movement and its timing.
What is the associative phase?
A skill regulated by variable or changing events.
What is an open skill?
KR and KP are two types of this.
What is feedback?
A student shoots extremely well today but cannot repeat the performance next week. This is an example of _____.
What is performance?
Problem solving and learners constructing their own meaning are associated with this theory.
What is cognitive/constructivist theory?
During this stage, performance is consistent and can adapt to conditions.
What is the automatic phase?
A basketball free throw is this type of skill because it has a clear beginning and end.
What is a discrete skill?
This type of practice uses shorter practice periods more frequently.
What is distributed practice?
True or False: High performance during one lesson always means learning has occurred.
What is false?
A teacher demonstrates a skill and positively reinforces correct responses. Which theory is being used?
What is behaviorist theory?
“Where do my feet go? What am I supposed to do with my arms?” describes a learner in this stage.
What is the cognitive phase?
Basketball dribbling is this type of skill because it has no clear beginning or end.
What is a continuous skill?
This type of practice is especially important for open skills because conditions change.
What is variable practice/practice variability?
A student struggles today but can consistently perform the skill several weeks later. This provides stronger evidence of _____.
What is learning?
A teacher presents a movement problem and asks students to discover the best solution. This is an example of this type of instruction.
What is indirect instruction?
Name the three stages of motor learning in order.
What are cognitive, associative, and automatic?
A handstand followed by a forward roll and then a balance is this type of skill.
What is a serial skill?
The more practice resembles how a skill will actually be used, the more likely this will occur.
What is transfer of learning?
