Means being able to do it again and again over time. To use long-term.
Definition
Motor learning
Term
Memorization. Temporary changes
Definition
Performance
Term

Procedural
Term
Single stimulus repeatedly
Definition
Non associative

Procedural
Term
Develops slowly after many repetitions, varying circumstances (learn the rules)
Definition
Procedural
Term
Step by step
Takes longer
Takes cognitive processes
Definition
Declarative
Term
What is another term for declarative?
Definition
Explicit
Term
Can be consciously recalled and articulated. Required higher cortical processes, awareness, motivation, attention, reflection, ability to relate new information to things they already know.
Definition
Declarative
Term
Can declarative memory be enhanced by mental practice (going thru the steps in your head, visualizign)
Definition
Yes
Term
Constant repetition transforms _____ to procedural
Definition
Declarative
Term
What does novel mean?
Definition
New
Term
This theory believes that sensory feedback is necessary to learn skilled movement
Definition
Closed Loop
Term
This theory says that internal reference of correctness is stored with repetition of the correct movement
Definition
Closed loop
Term
Specificity should ___ learning.
Definition
Increase
Term
The closed loop theory believes that errors and variability will ___ learning.
Definition
Decrease
Term
What are the limitations of the closed loop theory?
Definition
Doesn't explain accurate performance of novel movements, or movements made without feedback
Term
This theory does not use feedback.
Definition
Open Loop (Schema)
Term
This theory believed in a generalized motor program. Recall schema to select a response. Recognition schema to evaluate the response. Error signal used to modify schema
Definition
Open loop
Term
This theory believes that more information is better. That variability will INCREASE learning
Definition
Open Loop
Term
What are the limitations of the Open Loop (Schema theory)
Definition
- Is variability better for learning?
- Depends on who is learning?
- Inability to account for the immediate acquisition of new types of coordination or new forms of movement
Term
Changing things up, doing more than one thing at a time.
Definition
Variability
Term
This theory searches for the optimal strategies to solve for the task. Finds appropriate motor responses and appropriate perceptual cues. Learns to distinguish relevant perceptual cues and match these to motor strategies
Definition
Ecological Theory
Term
Used to understand the task (goal and movements needed), and as feedback (both during and after movement)
Definition
Perception
Term
This theory wants people to learn to match appropriate movement dynamics to different conditions and to learn how to solve motor problems, not perform a specific movement pattern.
Definition
Ecological Theory
Term
Name the 3 stages of motor learning according to Fitts and Posner
Definition
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
Term
Variability (many strategies)
Lots of improvement
Definition
Cognitive
Term
Less variability (refining one chosen strategy)
Definition
Associative
Term
Can perform another activity simultaneously
Definition
Autonomous
Term
Name the 3 stages for the Systems 3-stage Model
Definition
Novice
Advanced
Expert
Term
This stage is where the learner simplifies movement by "freezing" degrees of freedom. You lose efficiency and flexibility
Definition
Novice Stage
Term
This stage is where the learner begins to "free" degrees of freedom, allow movement at more joints. This is more adaptable to task and environment demands.
Definition
Advanced Stage
Term
This stage is where the learner releases all degrees of freedom necessary to perform task in efficient, coordinated manner. The learner takes advantage of mechanics of system and environment to optimize efficiency of movement.
Definition
Expert Stage
Term
Promotes skill acquisition
Definition
Drill
Term
Slows skill aquisition
Definition
Random
Term
This type of practice takes less time to learn, but is more easily forgotten
Definition
Drill
Term
Decreases skill retention
Exception: task/environment constant
Definition
Drill
Term
Improves skill retention.
Takes longer but can be remembered longer
Definition
Random
Term
Gentile's 2 stage theory.
Definition
1: Learner develops understanding of task dynamics
2: Learner refines the movement
Term
In gentile's 1st stage:
Definition
Understand goal, develop movement strategies, determine regulatory featurs of the environment
Term
In gentile's 2nd stage:
Definition
Develop adaptability to changing task and environment demands, perform consistently and efficiently
Term
What is Stage 1 of motor learning?
Definition
Skill Aquisition
-lots of cognitive processes
-novice (new)
-learning to understand the movement
Term
What is Stage 2 of motor learning?
Definition
Skill Refinement
-Associative
-Advanced
-Refine the movement
Term
What is Stage 3 of motor learning?
Definition
Skill Retention
-Automatic
-Expert
-very fluid
Term
Does practice make perfect?
Definition
Appropriate practice does
Term
Does practice need to be error free?
Definition
No, you just need to recognize and correct the errors
Term
The schedule and environment of practice will influence motor learning
Definition
Structured practice
Term
This type of practice environment is always the same. Finite, constant, predictable. Promotes skill aquisition, impedes skill retention.
Definition
Closed
Term
This type of practice environment is constantly changing. Infinite, changing, unpredictable. It delays skill aquisition, but increases skill retention
Definition
Open
Term
During what stage should the task be single, self-paced, a drill schedule and in a closed environment
Definition
Stage 1 - Aquisition
Term
During what stage should there be multiple tasks, external timing demands, a blocked schedule, and a limited open environment.
Definition
Stage 2 - Refinement
Term
What stage should there be concurrent tasks, a random schedule, and a completely open environment?
Definition
Stage 3 - Retention
Term
Retention and transfer are best when processing demands of practice environment match those of the what?
Definition
real environment
Term
Should you practice parts of a task or the whole thing?
Definition
Depends on skill you are doing
Term
When would practicing parts of a task be effective?
Definition
1. if the task can naturally be divided into units
2. parts must be practiced in the context of the task
- must practice the task as a whole eventually in the appropriate environment
Term
Name 4 types of feedback
Definition
1. error recognition (actual vs. intended)
2. error correction (cues to improve)
3. Reinforcement and increased motivation (increases attention to and duration of practice)
4. guidance of ongoing movements (only for very slow, especially novel movements)
Term
This type of feedback comes from the patient themselves
Definition
Intrinsic
Term
This type of feedback comes from external sources. Can be concurrent or terminal.
Definition
Extrinsic
Term
What is concurrent feedback?
Definition
When you give feedback step by step thru the task
Term
What is terminal feedback?
Definition
When you give feedback at the end of the task
Term
Augmented feedback is of greatest value when:
Definition
-intrinsic sensory mechanisms are impaired
- provides new or additional information
- provides specific information to guide subsequent attempts
Term
Name 3 types of people in which augmented feedback would speed up their skill aquisition.
Definition
Healthy, young
Neurologically impaired
Elderly
Term
When is it best to give immediate, continuous feedback?
Definition
when they are slow learners and to make their performance better
Term
When is it best to give delayed, summary feedback?
Definition
Every 5-15 trials, when their performance is worse than usual, and when they are learning faster they do not need feedback as much
Term
What does "fade" the feedback mean?
Definition
In stage 1 feedback should be continuous, immediate and prescriptive. In Stage 2, it should be delayed and descriptive
In Stage 3, it should only be after long intervals
Term
