44
Q

45
Q

What is retroactive transfer

A

The influence of one skill on the learning or performance of a skill that has previously been learned

46
Q

Practical example of retroactive transfer

A

Javelin- tennis ball - back to javelin

47
Q

What is positive transfer

A

When the learning and performance helps the learning and performance of another skill

48
Q

Practical example of positive transfer

A

Linking seat drop and then half twist and then to swivel hips

49
Q

What is negative transfer

A

When the learning and performance of one skill hinders the learning and performance of another

50
Q

Practical example of negative transfer

A

Playing badminton and then learning tennis

51
Q

What is bilateral transfer

A

The transfer of learning from one limb to another

52
Q

Practical example of bilateral transfer

A

Kicking left foot and then on right

53
Q

What is the operant conditioning theory

A

Theory claims

We learn through manipulation of behaviour towards a stimulus

TRIAL AND ERROR
MODIFICATION OF BEHAVIOUR
USE REINFORCED TO STRENGTHEN THE S-R BOND

54
Q

Practical example of learning a skill using operant conditioning

A

Net shots in badminton

Hand fed shuttle to learner (manipulate environment)
Learner attempts a few shots (trial and errror)
Possitihe reinforcement enforced correct response

55
Q

What is partial reinforcement

A

Reward given after a number of correct responses, learning takes longer but lasts longer

56
Q

What is complete reinforcement

A

Learning is faster if a reward is given on every occasion

57
Q

What are THORNDIKES LAWS

A

LAW OF EXERCISE
LAW OF EFFECT
LAW OF READINESS

58
Q

What is the law of exercise

A

Repeating or rehearsing the S-R connections is more likely to strengthen them. If the desired responses occurs, reinforcement is necessary

59
Q

What is the law of effect

A

Is the response is followed by a ‘satisfier’ the S-R bond is strengthened and an ‘annoyer’ the S-R bond is weakened

60
Q

What is the Law of readiness

A

Performer must be physically and mentally capable of performing the skills

61
Q

What is the cognitive learning theory by gestalists

A

Theory concerned with thinking and understanding

Problem-solving involving memory . Previous experiences are used to help solve new problems

62
Q

Practical example of learning a skill using cognitive learning

A

Give children lots of sporting experience to allow them to develop problem solving and decision making in sports

Skills learned as a whole

63
Q

What is the social learning/ observational theory

A

Personality and associated behaviour are determined by the situation or social environment rather then a series of traits

64
Q

How do significant others help us learn (observational theory)

A

People who are highly significant to us often called role models.
Copy them

65
Q

What is cueing (obersvaetional theory )

A

Identifying important cues or stimuli

For example watching the arm of your opponent when receiving a serve

66
Q

Practical example of social learning theory

A

Watching tv
Watching demonstrations
Tutorial videos

67
Q

what are BANDURA four process of observational learning theory

A

ATTENTION
RETENTION
MOTOR REPRODUCTION
MOTIVATION

68
Q

Why is attention important for observational theory

A

Learner must focus directly onto demonstration and focus on cues

Amount of attention depend on perceived attractiveness of the model

The observer attention span and their incentives are important

69
Q

Why is retention important for observation learning theory

A

Observer must be able to remember the model that presented

Mental rehearsal can be used to create mental image

70
Q

Why is motor reproduction important for observational learning theory

A

Must be physically or psychologically able to copy or replace the skill

Demo should be matched to the abilities of the performer

Feedback during practice is important

71
Q

Why is motivation important for the process of observational learning

A

Learner must have drive/ motivation to match the performance of the skill being modelled
External reinforcement of the model will be increased motivation to replicate it

72
Q

What are the 3 phases of learning

A

Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous

73
Q

What is the cognitive stage of learning

A

Performance inconsistent
Lack fluency
Learning occours through Trial and error
Correct performance must be reinforced

74
Q

What is the associative phase of learning

A

Performance becoming more consistent
Performer can associate movements either mental picture
Performer begins to correct own errors

75
Q

What is the autonomous phase of learning

A

Fluent, consistent, aesthetically pleasing
Skills are automatic
Performer can judge own performance

76
Q

What is verbal guidance

A

Used to describe the action and explain how to perform the activity

Must not speak for too long
Some movements can’t be explained

77
Q

Advantage of verbal guidance

A

It can be in the form of feedback
Can hold the attention of the performer if used appropriately

78
Q

Disadvantage of verbal guidance

A

Can lead to ‘information overload’

Guidance could be inaccurate

79
Q

What is visual guidance

A

Helps learning create a mental image of the skill and its performance

Demonstrations/ visual aids/ videos

80
Q

Advantage of visual guidance

A

Performer easily creates a mental picture

Encourage observational learning

81
Q

Disadvantage of visual guidance

A

If demonstration is incorrect - performer have bad habits

Coach may be unable to show an accurate demonstration

82
Q

What is manual and mechanical guidance

A

1- Physical support from a person or mechanical device. ‘Physical restriction ‘
2- response of the performer being directed physically by another person ‘forced response’

83
Q

Advantages of manual and mechanical guidance

A

Can give performer greater sense of safety

Isolate an important aspect of skil

84
Q

Disadvantage of mechanical and manual guidance

A

Over- restrictive
‘False sense of kinaesthetic’

85
Q

Why is feedback so important for a performer

A

Helps with motivation and confidence

Allows progress

86
Q

I’m cognitive stage of learning what feedback would they receive

A

External as they don’t understand the skills fully

87
Q

In the associative stage of learning what feedback would they need

A

Needs coaches input but will start to develop internal feedback

88
Q

In the autonomous stage what feedback would they receive

A

Internal feedback as they can detect and correct their own errores

From external - for tactics

89
Q

What is intrinsic feedback

A

Feedback that comes internally

90
Q

Advantages of intrinsic feedback

A

Readily available
Movements corrected immediately
Performer doesn’t have to rely on others

91
Q

Disadvantage of intrinsic feedback

A

In cognitive stage performer unable to provide the right feedback

92
Q

What extrinsic feedback

A

Feedback that comes from external sources
Eg coach’s

93
Q

+ of extrinsic feedback

A

Coach can give points that may lead to improvements

94
Q
  • of extrinsic feedback
A

Inaccurate feedback could negatively affect performance

95
Q

What is positive feedback

A

Reinforces skill learning
Gives info about a successful income

96
Q

+ of positive feedback

A

S-R bond formed
Motivation

97
Q
  • of positive feedback
A

Some performers don’t respond well to praise

98
Q

What is negative feedback

A

Info about an unsuccessful outcome

99
Q

+ of negative feedbacks

A

Lead to more determined performance
Performer know how to improve

100
Q
  • of negative feedback
A

Can be demotivating

101
Q

What is knowledge of results (feedback)

A

Feedback which is external
About result of action.

102
Q

Advantage of knowledge of results

A

Motivational

103
Q

Disadvantage of knowledge of results

A

Does not explain why action was successful
Can be demotivating

104
Q

What is knowledge of performance feedback

A

Info about how well the movement is being executed rather then end result

105
Q

+ of knowledge of performance

A

Includes technical information about the performance

106
Q
  • of knowledge of performance
