Principles of Learning
A temporary occurrence, fluctuating over time.
What is Performance?
When the practice of one task has a facilitating effect on the learning or performance of another.
What is Positive transfer?
Type of practice interval in which there are little to no gaps in practice.
What is Massed practice?
Practicing the perfect movement may be detrimental to overall performance.
What is True?
A relatively permanent change in performance resulting from practice or past experience.
What is Learning?
Throwing a baseball to throwing a javelin.
What is Skill to skill transfer?
When one movement is repeated over and over again in a drill-like fashion.
What is Blocked practice?
When demands placed on the performance of a skill are altered.
What is Variable practice?
A learning curve in which performance increases proportionally to time.
What is A linear performance curve?
When the practice of one task has an inhibiting effect on the learning or performance of another.
A beginner golfer randomly varies the club and the type of shot they play during practice.
What is Random practice?
We store information about specific invariant features of movement, such as relative timing and organization of limb parts in coordination.
What is Schema theory?
Stage of learning in which the individual tries to make sense of instructions, according to Fitts and Posner.
What is Cognitive stage?
A basketball player learning to do a reverse-lay up with their non-dominant hand.
What is Bilateral transfer?
Hypothesis stating that when two different tasks are presented side by side, the differences between the tasks are amplified.
What is the Elaboration hypothesis?
Variability of practice develops the learner's ability to control this.
What is General movement programs?
When an individual can perform consistently and with little overt cognitive activity, according to Fitts and Posner.
What is Autonomous stage?
From learning that long levers aid throwing to throwing a javelin.
What is Principles to skills transfer?
A volleyball player practices the dig, the overhead pass, and the spike in the same order each time.
What is serial practice?
A result of repeating the way you practice a skill with no change.
What is Poor performance? or What is Performance Plateau?
