Motor Learning Basics
This is the study of how skilled movements are learned through practice and feedback.
Motor learning
Movements that use large muscle groups are called ____ motor skills.
Gross motor skills
The stage where learners are developing an understanding of the task and often make many errors.
Cognitive stage
Practicing a skill in one long session without breaks is called ____ practice.
Massed practice
Factors that can restrict skill learning and performance are called _____.
Rate limiters
Motor learning involves knowledge of three body systems that control movement. Name them.
Neural system, muscular system, sensory system
Skills performed in a predictable, stable environment are called ____ skills.
Closed skills
The stage where learners detect and correct their own errors and refine their movement sequences.
Associative stage
Feedback from your own senses during or after a movement is called ____ feedback.
Intrinsic feedback
Name five types of rate limiters that can affect performance
Physical, technical, perceptual, tactical, psychological
These are voluntary activities performed to achieve a predetermined task.
Motor skills
Skills that have a clear beginning and end are known as ____ skills.
Discrete skills
The stage where performance is almost automatic and requires minimal conscious thought.
Autonomous stage
Practicing a skill in small components rather than the whole movement is called ____ practice.
Part practice
n touch football, struggling to kick accurately due to poor muscle strength is an example of what type of rate limiter?
Physical rate limiter
A movement plan that contains all commands for muscles to execute a skill is called a ____.
Motor program
Movements that must adjust to changing conditions, such as catching a moving ball, are examples of ____ skills.
Open skills
This cognitive model of learning involves stages of perception, decision-making, and response execution before action occurs.
Information processing model
Practicing skills in a random order rather than in blocks to improve adaptability is called ____ practice.
Random practice
Adjusting practice and feedback to suit your stage of learning can help overcome what and improve performance?
Rate limiters
In this approach, movements emerge through interaction of the environment, task, and individual.
Dynamic systems approach
A skill composed of several discrete movements performed in sequence, like a volleyball spike, is a ____ skill.
Serial skill
In this approach, higher control centres pass commands to lower centres in a linear, hierarchical way.
Cognitive systems approach
Feedback given by a coach or teacher after performance, such as knowledge of results, is called ____ feedback.
Extrinsic feedback
Analysing how personal limitations affect specialised movement sequences in a volleyball spike involves gathering what type of data?
Primary data (data collected from your own performance)
