Stages of Skill Acquisition
What are the 3 stages of skill acquisition.
Cognitive, Associative and Autonomous Stages
This term refers to "genetic" characteristics inherited from our parents.
"heredity"
These skills occur in an environment that is stable and predictable (eg. 10 pin bowling)
"closed skill"
When judging a performance, this is the term for “the judgement about the quality of somebody or something” using some sort of criteria.
"appraisal"
The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute is called...
"cardiac output"
At this stage, you will see rehearsing of the sequencing of movement patterns by athlete.
Associative stage of skill acquisition
When looking at ones "prior experience" we can observe motor skills such as the ability to move the body from one position and direction to another with speed and precision. Called...
What is "agility"?
This skill has a distinct beginning and end that can be identified.
"discrete skills"
This is the honesty of the test - that is, the degree to which it measures what it is supposed to measure.
"validity"
This is an internal state that activates, directs and sustains behaviour towards achieving a particular goal. It is called...
"motivation"
This stage is characterised by few errors occurring
The "Autonomous" stage of skill acquisition
Ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph are terms associated with a person's body type best known as...
"somatotype"
A skill that involves precise movements, typically using smaller muscle groups.
Fine motor skills
One characteristic of skilled performers is their ability to predict what may happen in specific situations, termed...
"anticipation"
This refers to the period immediately before competition when the volume and intensity of training is reduced as part of carbohydrate loading.
"tapering"
The teaching focus on this stage is on conceptualisation or "what to do".
Cognitive Stage
The ability to visualise a movement and make it materialise is a significant factor in the first stage of learning and helped by ones...
"conceptual ability"
This type of feedback is given DURING a performance (eg. while performing a handstand)
"concurrent feedback"
Observing and judging someone complete a gym routine would be said to be a ______________ observation/judgement.
Subjective
This refers to the use of cooling to treat injury or quicken recovery from performances, particularly those that involve collisions and/or sustained intensity.
"Cryotherapy"
During this stage, both internal and external feedback become important
Associative stage
Prior experience where a netball player is able to quickly learn new skills of basketball due to...what is the term for this?
"transfer of learning"
Getting a person to practice a lay up in its entirety is termed this type of practice
"whole practice"
Criteria (such as checklists or rating scales) established by a sports organisation or body and form the basis of assessment for competitions in that sport or activity are termed this...
"prescribed criteria"
This hypothesis suggests that performance improves with increasing arousal to a point but then will deteriorate beyond this point.
"inverted U hypothesis"
