Lesson 1
What is ecological dynamics theory?
Conceptual framework that emphasizes the dynamic interplay between an individual and their environment
What are the loop controls?
Open and Closed
What are the 3 types of transfers?
Zero, negative, and positive
What does GHP stand for?
Generalized motor programs
What is linear pedagogy?
Emphasizes a structured step by step process for skill acquisition
What are the 6 types of transfers?
Skill to skill, Bilateral, Practice to Performance, Stage to Stage, Principles to Skills, Ability to Skills
What is motor learning?
Relatively permanent change in the ability to perform a skill as a result of practice or experience.
What is non linear pedagogy?
an approach to motor learning that emphasizes the dynamic interaction between the learner and their environment.
How can you maximize positive transfer?
Variability of practice, contextual interference, simulation training, and dual-task training
What is Schema Theory?
Proposed by motor learning researcher Richard Schmidt explains how the brain develops generalized motor programs (GHP’s) to control movement
What does PRP stand for?
Psychological Refractory Period
How can you mitigate negative transfer?
Identify sources of potential negative transfer, implement targeted training adjustments, foster metacognitive awareness, leverage technology-aided feedback
What is ecological model?
Focuses on dynamic interplay between the athlete and their surrounding environment, rather than just the athlete in isolation
What is the PRP cognitive process?
Refers to the psychological and mental components of injury recovery, specifically how athletes perceive, react to, utilize this treatment to return to play
What is internal focus?
Directing attention to bodily sensations, thoughts, and emotions
