cognitive, associative, autonomous
The PT instructs Luis to stand up from his chair, walk 10m, step over a shoebox and sit back down 5 times. What practice condition is this?
serial
This type of feedback is better to use in the later stages of learning (Options: intrinsic or extrinsic).
intrinsic

Feedback regarding knowledge of performance is in reference to... (Options: quality or outcome).

learning/retention
The PT wants to practice walking using a "whole task" approach. What should they do?
walking!
What are 3 way you can provide feedback?
auditory, visual, somatosensory (tactile) cues
Your patient is able to adapt the skill to a new environment, needs less attention for the task, and can successfully dual task. What stage of motor learning are they in?
autonomous
The PT wants to practice STS using a "discovery" approach. What should they do?
