Q

who was the founder of ecological psychology

A

gibson

25
Q

opportunities for behaviour is described as what

A

affordances

26
Q

what are the two types of energy flows generated by movement can be

A

invariant and variant

27
Q

what is invariant energy flow and variant

A

invariant - constant
variant - changing

27
Q

what is an example of optical invariant

A

apple thrown towards you

27
Q

what are the two visual guidance of action

A

direct
indirect

27
Q

what is the direct perception

A

of higher order variables can specify action
- simple decision - take time to monitor environment

28
Q

what is indirect perception

A

complex decisions needed

29
Q

for visual guidance of action what sports is there a large amount of research of close coupling between perception and action

A

climbing
, standing balance, long jump run-up, table tennis

30
Q

what sports develop more economic visual search patterns with practice

A

climbing

31
Q

in climbing overall number of exploratory fixation _____ whilst perfomatory fixation remain relatively _____

A

decrease
stable

32
Q

how long is short term memory stored for

A

20-30 sec unless rehearsed

33
Q

what is working memory

A

temporarily stores recently presented material
retrieves info from long-term storage to influence current problem solving

34
Q

what is long term memory

A

memories that are relatively permanent

35
Q

what doe chunking and analogies both help overcome

A

limitations of working memory

36
Q

through repetitve practice coordination can become locked in a pattern e.g. only breathing on one side of swimming stroke

waht is this called

A

attractor

37
Q

what are the two ways we can get learner to modify technique

A

explicit and implicit

38
Q

what is explicit and what is implicit

A

explicit - conscious
implicit - sub-conscious

39
Q

what is dual task

A

part of implicit
- force movement change
e.g. put imagine on side of pool to look at

40
Q

instructions, demo, feedback, guidance
- are factors of what modify technique

A

explicit

41
Q

manipulate constraints, dual task, analogy, erroless learning are
- are factors of what modify technique

A

implicit

42
Q

what is the definition of intrinsic motivation

A

activity pursued for its own sake in the absence of any extrinsic rewards for the love of the game

43
Q

intrinsically motivated behaviours are those that a person performs to feel _______ and __________

A

competent and self-determining

44
Q

what is the theory for extrinsic rewards and intrinsic motvation

A

cognitive evaluation theory

45
Q

what does the cognitive evaluation theory explains

A

differential effects of intrinsic on intrinsic motivation

46
Q

what is the critical aspect of the cognitive evaluation theory

A

evaluation - perception of the reward

47
Q

are extrinsic reward good or bad

A

not necessarily - how they are perceived

48
Q

what are the 2 perceptions of reward that affect intrinsic motivation

A
  1. controlling aspect
  2. information aspect
49
Q

how are controlling and information aspects seen

A

both of both - balancing act = see saw

50
Q

increase feeling of self-competence/self-control will______ intrinsic motivation

A

increase

51
Q

what are the 2 C’s of cognitive evaluation theory

A

Competence and controlling

52
Q

what are some control implications for coaches to increase IM

A
  • structure setting for success
  • realistic goals
  • reward contingent on performance not outcome
  • ## vary content of drills
53
Q

what are some competence implications for coaches to increase IM

A

phase out (tangible) rewards as IM increases
involve participants
provide environment conductive to flow

54
Q

what are the products of flow (flow is connected to optimal level of arousal

A

task demands/challanges

54
Q
A
