Learning and Performance Flashcards
(16 cards)
What is learning?
Observed and measured through performance but they are not necessarily the same. Relatively permanent change in behaviour as a result of practice or experiance.
What is performance?
Limited short term, unpredictable, inconsistent, flukey, a temporary occurrence, is a demonstration of the solving of a problem or task at a given moment in time.
What is the link between learning an performance?
As learning takes place we usually see gradual improvement in performance
What is a linear curve of learning and performance?
The rate of improvement is directly proportional to the number of practice sessions - there is constant improvement
What is the positively accelerated curve of performance and learning?
The shape shows that the individual has performed better in the later sessions than in the earlier ones, and that the rate of performance is getting faster.
What is the negatively accelerated curve of performance and learning?
This shape shows that the individual has performed better in the earlier sessions than in the later ones - the rate of performance improvement is slowing.
What is a plateau of the learning and performance curve?
This often occurs when the athlete is trying to do too much and is over tired they could be lacking motivation and have reached their potential.
What is the definition of a plateau?
A plateau is a period during which, although there are fluctuations from trial to trial, there is no defiant change in the performance as measured. - the performer does not seen to be getting better.
What is the definition of drive reduction?
An end of task period when performance may get worse. You’ve succeeded so you’ve lost your drive.
What are the 3 stages of learning?
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
What is the definition of the cognitive stage of learning?
Beginner phase of learning, demonstrations are important together with verbal explanations. This stage needed extrinsic and positive feedback.
What is the definition of the associative stage of learning?
This stage of learning has a mental picture of what is required but still makes a lot of mistakes, movement patterns are more fluent. They can begin to use kinaesthetic feedback. But still need extrinsic feedback but this stage Can also involve negative feedback.
What is the definition of the autonomous stage of learning?
Highest stage of learning, the movement patterns are now automatically performed. The learner can now use kinaesthetic feedback and more negative feedback.
What type of feedback does a cognitive learner need?
Extrinsic
Gross errors
Concise
Simple
What type of feedback does an associative learner need?
Mainly extrinsic
Aim to eliminate errors
Moving to intrinsic
Kinaesthetic developing
What type of feedback does an autonomous learner need? vb
Mainly intrinsic/ kinaesthetic
Can correct own errors
Extrinsic FB is more detailed
Can deal with negative FB
