What is the difference between learning and performance?
Learning is a relatively permanent change in performance capability from experience, while performance is the observable behavior at a given moment.
What is the difference between learning and performance?
Learning is a relatively permanent change in performance capability from experience, while performance is the observable behavior at a given moment.
What are the factors that can affect performance?
Fatigue, motivation, environmental conditions, and emotional state.
What characterizes the Cognitive/Verbal Stage of learning?
High cognitive demand, many mistakes, constant need for feedback, and jerky, inconsistent movements.
Give an example of the Cognitive/Verbal Stage.
A beginner skier thinking about how to stand and move, often falling and needing guidance.
What defines the Associative/Motor Stage of learning?
Fewer major errors, more fluid movements, less verbal self-talk, and beginning to develop a 'feel' for the movement.
What is the Autonomous Stage of learning?
Automatic execution of skills with minimal conscious thought, able to perform while focusing on other aspects.
Do athletes need to reach the Autonomous Stage in all aspects of their sport?
No, many elite athletes consciously work on certain technical elements.
What are the four types of learning curves?
Positive acceleration, negative acceleration, linear, and plateau.
Describe the Positive Acceleration learning curve.
Slow initial progress followed by rapid improvement, common in simple motor tasks.
What is the Negative Acceleration learning curve?
Rapid initial progress followed by slower improvement, often seen in complex skills.
What characterizes a Linear learning curve?
Steady, consistent progress, which is rare in real-world learning.
What happens during a Plateau in learning?
Progress stops temporarily and may require new learning strategies to overcome.
Is a plateau a permanent stop in learning?
No, plateaus are often temporary and can be overcome with adjusted practice methods.
What is a common mistake regarding plateaus in learning?
Assuming that plateaus mean learning has stopped permanently.
What is the role of feedback in the Cognitive/Verbal Stage?
Constant feedback is needed to help the learner improve and correct mistakes.
How does emotional state affect performance?
Emotional state can influence motivation and focus, impacting overall performance.
