Motor Skill Classfications
Phases of learning
Levers
Feedback/Information Processing Model
100

Define open and closed skills

Open Skill: A skill performed in a variable or unpredictable environment influenced by external factors.

Closed Skill: Any skill performed in a closed and predictable environment.

100

What are the phases of motor learning 

Cognitive, associative, autonomous

100

Draw a first class lever

100

Whats the difference between internal and external feedback

Intrinsic Feedback: Feedback athletes receive internally as a natural consequence of their performance. 

Extrinsic Feedback: Feedback athletes receive from outside the performer.

200

What are all the motor skill continuums 

Open and Closed

Gross and Fine

Discrete, Serial and Continous

200

What phase of motor learning would Lebron James be in

Autonomous

200

Draw a second class lever


200

What are the purposes of feedback 

To reinforce good habits and eliminate bad habits

To motivate the performer 

300

Define an discrete, serial and continous skill

Discrete skill: Have a clear start and a clear end-point

Serial Skill: A series of smaller combined to make a skill 

Continuous Skills: Are repetitive and ongoing for a particular period of time.  

300

What drills should an associative athlete use 

Increase in speed, accuracy and inclusion of defenders in drills

300

Draw a third class lever


300

What are the stages of the information processing model 

Input, Response-idetification/decision making, output, feedback

400

Define Gross and Fine motor skills

Gross Motor Skills: Skills that require the use of larger muscle groups

Fine Motor Skill: Skill that requires the use of small muscle groups

400

What kind of feedback would a Autonomous athlete mainly use

Internal feedback

400

What form of lever is a pushup 

Second class lever

400

Whats the difference between knowledge of results and knowledge of performance

Knowledge of results (Objective): What actually happened

Knowledge of Performance (Subjective): What did we witness in terms of the skills technique.

500

Give a sporting example for each skill

Open Skill: Volleyball dig

Closed: Darts

Gross: High Jump

Fine: Golf putt

Discrete: Catching a ball 

Serial:Layup

Continuous: Running

500

Provide a characteristic relating to each of the phases

Cognitive: Stage includes a lot of mistakes, External feedback is beneficial, Athlete develops a mental picture of the skill

Associative: Internal Feedback starts to develop, Consists of less errors, Lots of practice

Autonomous: Skill Comes Automatically, Ability in Redirecting Focus, Internal Feedback

500

What form of lever is a calf raise

Second class lever

500

Whats the difference between terminal and continous feedback

Terminal Feedback: Occurs at the end of the movement.

Continuous Feedback/ Concurrent: Feedback given while a performance is occurring
