what is the inverted u theory
states that as arousal increases so does performance
however if arousal goes over the optimal point performance will deteriorate
what will happen if the performer has too little or too much arousal
it will interfere with there coordination, decision making and performance.
what is arousal
the state of general preparedness
what is anxiety
being stressed and overwhelmed
what are the two types of anxiety
state- in the moment you are anxious
trait- you are naturally nervous all the time
what will happen if you have high anxiety or arousal
will cause over excitement and therefore disrupt performance
what happens to extroverts in the inverted u theory
they will perform better under situations of high arousal
what will happen to introverts in the inverted u theory
they will perform better under low levels of arousal
what is a gross skill
large movement, need high levels of arousal
what is a fine skill
small discrete movement needs low level of arousal
what is the drive theory
linear relationship between arousal and performance. as arousal increases so does performance
what is performance
arousal x skill level
what happens as a result of an increase in arousal
causes the dominant habit to occur
practical example of the drive theory
a novice rounders player who is trying to impress misses the ball
how does the drive theory affect performers at different stages of learning
performers at the autonomous stage of learning will benefit from high levels of arousal compared to cognitive and associative
what are the two dimensions of anxiety
cognitive- negative thoughts
somatic- physiological eg high hr and shaking
what are the 4 styles of coaching
command style, reciprocal style, problem solving and guided discovery
what is command style coaching
when the coach is in total control and they make all the decisions so it involves little to no input from the performers
what is reciprocal style coaching
when the teacher allows the students to work in small groups, and when the teacher sets out a task and in the pairs one of them acts as the performer and the other acts as the coach
what is guided discovery
when the teacher sets a challenge and then the teacher drops little prompts to the learners to help them figure it out and the goal is for the performer to figure it with as few prompts as possible
what is problem solving
when the teacher sets an open-ended task with multiple solutions and wants the performer to figure it out with little to no prompts.
advantages of command style coaching
good for beginners as they don’t have to think for themselves, also good for activities of high risk, also good when dealing with large groups, and trying to teach a new skill.
disadvantages of command style coaching
discourages performers to think for themselves, damage there creativity and confidence, run the risk of making the sessions boring and therefore the performers becoming demotivated
advantages of reciprocal style coaching
promotes group cohesion, develops thinking skills, develops communication skills and decision making, helps develop the learners understanding of the skill.
