Lec 10- Preparing the learning experience
People that learn more easily when they are first presented with the big picture and then asked to concentrate on details are what type of learners?
Global Learners
The neural mechanism through which observational learning occurs is known as:
Mirror Neuron System
low contextual interference practice schedule is a ______ practice schedule.
Blocked
____________ is a type of feedback that includes correction between reinforcement and motivation.
Sandwich approach
In this scenario: A golfer switching to disc golf and misjudging the throwing motion due to ingrained swinging habits.
What kind of transfer occurred?
Negative Transfer
Whole practice of a motor skill is recommended when the skill is ____ in task complexity and ____ in task organization.
Low in task complexity and high in task organization
True or False: Adding variability to practice increases capacity to perform the skill in a future test situation
True
Recall error is considered as __________.
Response Selection error
True or False: A practice method should only be used if the time and effort invested lead to meaningful improvements in skill.
(Cost-Benefit Tradeoff)
True
Why goal setting is effective in motor learning and performance (at least 3 reasons)?
Specifically: It directs attention to specific elements of skill, fosters new learning strategies, mobilizes effort, increases persistence, and enhances confidence and satisfaction.
Practice variability will produce ________ (more/less) performance errors in practice during initial learning
More
Which term describes the period of time when learners synthesize the information they received—internally and externally—and formulate a new movement plan?
Post-Feedback Interval
True or False: Negative transfer effects are permanent
False
The PETTLEP approach is used for ______ practice of motor skills.
Mental Practice
What is the difference between random and varied practice?
Random - different tasks, random order
Varied- involves changes in parameters or variations of the same task
Creating a tolerance zone and only providing feedback when outside the pre-set tolerance is known as ______ feedback
Bandwidth
___________ is an internal condition that incites and directs action or behavior
Motivation
What is the cognitive explanation of bilateral transfer in motor learning?
Important cognitive information acquired from practice with one limb available when other limb begins to perform
The explanation that suggests that random practice facilitates learning by causing temporary between trials forgetting of task solutions is called the ____________ hypothesis.
action plan reconstruction
What happens when feedback is provided too soon? (2 reasons of why feedback-delay interval is beneficial)
–Learners are prevented from evaluating their own movement-produced feedback
–This can hamper development of error detection and correction mechanisms
