Motor Learning (3) Flashcards
feedback and motor learning
bandwidth feedback
faded feedback
bandwidth feedback
window of error that is acceptable and safe
when is feedback given –> bandwidth feedback
only given if pt is making a large error
decreases feedback so it eventually fades out
so…–> bandwidth feedback
small error = no feedback
what is bandwidth feedback beneficial for
retention and long term retention
faded feedback
type of bandwidth feedback in which feedback is reduced (faded out) over time
testing and motor learning
retention
transfer
dual task performance
savings
retention test
performed a period of times after practice
determines if skill has been reached and learned
transfer
individual is asked to perform a skill that is similar to but different from, the skill that has been practiced
evaluates whether a skill can be generalized to similar tasks
dual task performance
pt is required to do 2 things at 1 times
dual task performance is
a good way of assessing learning
a learned task will not require as much cognitive attention as earlier in the learning process
savings
refers to the amount of practice saved in relearning a task or skill a second time, as compared to learning it the first time
learning atmosphere
natural
contrived environment
contextual interference
low interference
switching from one skill to another one or one parameter to another after a number of trials or lengths of time
high interference
switching from one skill to the other or one parameter to the other often
