Open Skills
occur in dynamic environments where things Closed skills: in in environments that are stalle and predictable. Teach to novice learners. From closed to open skills. Example: Dribbling alone → Dribbling in a game
Degrees of freedom Problem
The variations that can take place in a complex movement because of the isolated types of movement. Example: Throwing a ball involves feet, legs, torso, arms, hards → reduce the number of problems
Bernstein’s Motor Learning Stages
Break down motor tasks into smaller pieces to develop regulation of movements, the integrating of them to develop coordination. 3 Stages.
Bernstein’s Motor learning stage 1
freezing the lines. Regulating the degrees of freedom to produce desired movement. Continue until it’s automatic.
Bernstein’s Motor Learning Stage 2
Gradually releasing limbs and increase as skill becomes proficient.
Bernstein’s Motor Learning Stage 3
Expert Stage. Exploiting the environment and performing the skill in multiple settings.
Motor learning
The study of skill acquisition processes and includes factors that help or hinder motor skill performance. Permanent or semi-permanent change. Performance is observed over time, it cannot be observed directly.
motor Performance
Demonstration of a Skill or set of Skill. Contingent upon other factors. Can be observed.
Descriptive feedback
Observations to identify errors for correction or actions that need to be replicated to promote consistent performance.
Knowledge of performance
Quality of a performance. Felt while executing the movement or observed while watching movements.
Prescriptive Feedback
Feedback given to correct an error. Warrants a change in technique or positioning to improve performance. Example: Shooting a free throw, release to the left, ball goes left.
Knowledge of Results
Terminal feedback. The outcome feedback that occurs after a Skill has been performed.
Positive Transfer
A previously learned Skill benefits the performance of another skill.
Negative Transfer
Previously learned Skill impedes the performance of another skill.
Zero Transfer
Previously learned skill has no impact on the learning of a future skill.
Deliberate practice
Skills must be developed through practice. Frequency of practice and the opportunities to respond. short duration, high quality to yield better results. Goals or objectives must be established to give students focus. Direct, early feedback is given to prevent errors.
Feedback
Information that teachers provide to students to improve motor skills. Types: General, Specific, positive, negative, and constructive.
General feedback
Vague and not focused on the skill performance.
Specific Feedback
Descriptive / explicit feedback that focuses on the skill action.
Positive Feedback
Praise and focuses on what is correct.
Negative feedback
Focuses on what is wrong.
Constructive feedback
Specific details on what the student is doing incorrectly and explicit details on how to improve.
Sandwich method
Positive feedback, Specific constructive feedback, Positive feedback.
Types of feedback
Verbal, visual, Kinesthetic.
