What
A complex process occurring in the brain in response to practice or experience of a certain skill
What is Motor Learning
procedural skills, actions, and movement
ex: riding a bike, birthday
what is long term memory?
general physiological and psychological activation of the organism that varies on a continuum
what is arousal?
limited capacity,20-30 seconds unless it gives further attention, can transfer to long-term memory
what is short-term memory?
Movements are slow, inconsistent, and inefficient, considerable cognitive activity is required
What is Cognitive learning behavior?
Period of time which learning process has stopped
What is performance Plateau?
what are the four types of attentional styles?
has many features of S.T.M, temporary workspace to integrate recent information
what is walking memory?
Used to see a relatively permanent change in performance can interfere
what are retention tests?
environmental and task complexity, skill level, number of cues
what are Factors of influencing attentional demand?
Movements are accurate, consistent, and efficient. Little or no cognitive activity is required
information to reinforce correct performance, information to facilitate error correction, encouragement to motivate the learner to keep working
What is the "sandwich" method?
the existence of limited attentional resources or space
what is limited attention capacity theory?
Movements are more fluid, reliable, and efficient. less cognitive activity is required
what is Associative learning behavior?
Used to see a relatively permanent change in performance, can infer that learning has occurred
Manner for performer/coach to direct his/her attention to locate critical cues
what is visual search?
Structured practice- use repetitive, structured practice to perfect technique
What are closed skills?
incorporate varied practice scenarios to develop adaptability
What are open skills?
the ability to focus on one specific item among countless stimuli
What is Selective attention?
information integrated into spinal cord, result is an automatic, involuntary response
What is a Reflex?
