Non-Linear Learning Basics
What is non-linear learning?
This type of learning says movement changes based on the environment.
What is dynamical systems theory?
This theory explains how the body works together to create movement.
What are constraints?
These are factors that affect how an athlete moves
What is concentration?
This is focusing your mind on one thing.
What is arousal?
This refers to how awake or hyped up you are.
What is the ecological model?
This model explains how people adjust movement based on what they see.
What is self organization?
This means movements organized themselves naturally without instructions.
What are task constraints?
This type of constraint includes rules and equipment.
What is selective attention?
This means focusing on important information and ignoring distractions.
What is attentional narrowing?
High arousal can cause this, where focus gets smaller.
What is non-linear pedagogy?
This approach says learning happens during performance, not before.
What are degrees of freedom?
These are all the possible ways your body can move.
What are environmental constraints?
This type includes weather or crowd noise?
What is divided attention?
This is doing multiple things at once.
What is internal focus?
Focusing on your body movements is this type of focus.
What is non-linear learning?
In this type of learning athletes don’t need constant instructions.
What is adaptation?
This happens when the body adjust movements to perform better.
What are personal constraints?
This type includes strength or confidence.
What is situational awareness?
This is being aware of what’s happening around you in a game.
What is external focus?
Focusing on the result such as a target or ball.
What is game-based or realistic practice?
This type of practice focuses on real game situations.
what are attractor states?
This term describes stable movement patterns, your body prefers.
What are constraints?
These all work together to shape movement.
What is attentional flexibility?
This is the ability to change your focus when needed.
What is the inverted U theory?
This theory explains the best level of arousal for peak performance.
