Q

Outline the different
approaches to classifying
motor skills

A

Number of muscles used:
1. Gross: involve large muscle groups
2. Fine: involve smaller muscle groups

Affected by another player or element:
1. Open (external paced): can’t predict what’ll happen, as environmental conditions impact it
2. Closed (internally paced): predictable environment

Number of competitors:
1. Individual: athlete performs in isolation
2. Coactive: performed with someone else but with
no direct confrontation or interaction
3. Interactive: performed in direct
confrontation with others

Nature of the movement:
1. Discrete: clear start and finish, 1 execution
2. Serial: linking together skills to form a
complex one, steps
3. Continuous: repetitive, rhythmical, takes place
over a long period of time

Q

Describe a simple model of
information processing.

A

Information processing is the system by which we take information from our surrounding environment, use it to make a decision and then produce a response: (input – decision-making – output)
All the approaches are only models. Input and output are assessable/observable, but the decision-making process can only be speculation.

Q

Outline the components associated with sensory
input

A
  • Exteroceptors: detects changes from the outside world, through senses
  • Proprioceptors: provides information about position of limbs, allows you to feel your body, like muscles and tendons
  • Interoceptors: detects internal changes within body, like chemoreceptors, baroreceptors

25
Explain the signal-detection process (5 points)
Also referred to as the detection–comparison– recognition process (DCR). It states that the probability of detecting a signal depends on: - Background noise (a lot of stimulus) - Intensity of the stimulus - Efficiency of the sense organs (due to discapacity or pain) - Early and improving signal detection, or level of arousal
26
Definition and purpose of selective attention
Consciously trying to focus to filter information that we need and don't need. Discarding alternative stimuli to avoid burnout or overload.
27
What is retrieval capacity?
The ability to access information when you need it, remembering
28
Discuss the relationship between selective attention and memory (5 points)
- Selective attention operates in the short- term sensory store, where only the relevant information is passed - SA ensures that information overload does not occur and prevents confusion, as the brain would not be able to cope with streams of information. - Filtering mechanism operates, which separates the relevant information from the irrelevant (noise) information so that athletes concentrate on one stimulus - SA is very important when accuracy or fast responses are required - Can be improved by learning through experience and interaction with long-term memory.
29
Compare different methods of memory improvement (8 points)
- Rehearsal: repeat same scenario - Coding: change concept for code (nmonic rule) - Brevity: summarizing - Clarity: explaining - Chunking: separating info in smaller groups - Organization: classification and mind-mapping - Association: link with thing you know - Practice: repeat action
30
Define the term response time
Response time= reaction time + movement time
31
Define the term reaction time
Time taken from the detection of stimulus until the beginning of response
32
Define the term movement time
Time taken from the beginning of the response to the end of response
33
How much does response time take and what does it vary on?
300ms and depends on age + gender
34
Outline factors that determine response time (6 points)
- Stimulus transmission: quality of stimulus - Detection: how well receptors are working - Recognition: association with memory - Decision to respond: level of arousal - Nerve transmission time: depends on neurons + nervous system - Initiation of action: muscles
35
How does response time relate with Hick's law?
The more alternative stimuli present in an environment, the more it will take to respond, so RESPONSE TIME is SLOWER.
36
Evaluate the concept of the psychological refractory period (PRP)
The 1 stimulus analyzed by the brain will produce a 1 response, however if during the production of that response there is a 2 stimulus it will later produce a 2 response. However, the time between stimulus 2 and the end of response 1 is called “psychological refractory period”. An unavoidable short time period where players can be deceived from the new stimulus as they continue to respond to first stimulus. Explains dummies and dodges.
37
Describe a motor program
A set of movements stored as a whole in the memory, regardless of whether feedback is used in their execution.
38
Describe the two types of motor programs
OPEN LOOP: doesn't receive intrinsic feedback (usually short or fast motor programs) CLOSED LOOP: receives intrinsic feedback (usually seen in prolonged motor programs like running, where you are able to receive feedback while performing)
39
Describe an executive motor program
A number of motor programs put together, coordination of motor programs - complex skills - sequencial subroutines
40
What is “Adams’ concepts of memory trace and perceptual trace” in motor programs?
In motor programs a trace of perception is left after ending the exercise, perceptual trace of the feel of the movement, comparing the movement in progress with a correct memory movement.
41
Outline the role of feedback in information-processing models (8 points)
Intrinsic: no outside help, feel of movement Extrinsic: information provided by someone or something - Terminal: after performance - Concurrent: during performance Knowledge of results: outcome in numbers, graphs, stats Knowledge of performance: nature of movement, what you did when performing Positive: highlights things well done Negative: highlights errors
42
What issue might pose, giving an athlete extrinsic concurrent feedback?
Might disturb as alternative stimuli
43
What issue might pose, giving an athlete negative feedback?
Demotivating
44
Outline the role of feedback with the learning process (4 points)
- Reinforces learning - Motivates - Adaptation and performance - Punishment
45
SE SEPARA ACA CON 5.3
46
Distinguish between learning and performance
Learning: a relatively permanent change in performance brought about by experience, excluding changes due to maturation and degeneration. Learning (alternative definition): A change in performance over time. Performance: a temporary occurrence, fluctuating over time.
47
Describe the phases (stages) of learning
Cognitive/verbal: 1. Early phase 2. Memory of instructions 3. Many mistakes 4. Uncoordinated movement Associative/motor: 1. Intermediate phase 2. Practice is required, still cognitive 3. Some mistakes, inconsistent 4. Still not very coordinated Autonomous: 1. Final phase 2. Consistently 3. No cognitive
48
Discuss factors that contribute to the different rates of learning (7 points)
Limit to: - Physical maturation - Physical fitness - Individual differences of coaches (the way they teach you) - Age - Difficulty of task - Teaching environment (depends on alternative stimuli) - Motivation
49
Define the concept of transfer
Transfer of training refers to the effect that practice on one task has on the learning or performance of another task Positive: practice of one task facilitates the learning of another one Negative: practice of one task has a negative effect on the learning of another one
50
Outline the types of transfer
- Skill to skill: another skill to coordinate this skill - Practice to performance: doing skill multiple times - Abilities to skills: learning abilities to help skill (like reaction time) - Bilateral: when using limbs, practicing the weaker part of limb - Stage to stage: practicing in steps or parts - Principles to skills: intellectualizing what's behind the motion (6 points)
51
Outline the different types of practice
- Distributed: practice interrupted with rest between activities, reduces fatigue - Massed: no rest and no interruptions - Fixed or blocked: doing something over and over (aaa, bbb, ccc) - Variable or random: practice of movement and then another (abc, cba, bac), different types of exercises - Serial: practice different movements in one order (abc, abc, abc) - Mental: practice in brain what you have to do --> cognitive
52
Explain the different types of presentation
- Whole: skill practiced in its entirity - Whole–part–whole: learner first tries the whole skill to get a feel of movement, then practice individual parts before integrating back into whole skill - Progressive part: learner experiences initial movement and then adds a new movement to the previous part building a sequence, allows each part to be mastered when skill is difficult - Part: parts are practiced in isolation, allows performer to master each part, used when learning skill in sequence is not vital
53
Define task presentation
The way in which the coach presents the activity
54
What is the down-side to being presented a skill through the “whole” method?
May be demotivating
55
Outline the spectrum of teaching styles
- Command: (for each individual) give orders as the coach says, when they say - Reciprocal: (peer work in pairs/trios) coach sets agenda but steps away a little for reciprocal feedback - Problem-solving: (group work) coach sets a problem and lets them find a solution
56
When is the command teaching style good to use?
Good for large groups or closed skills
57
When is the command teaching style NOT good to use?
When working with heterogeneous groups
58
Why is the problem-solving teaching style good to use?
Good for self-esteem and good to solve problems during the actual sport.
59
What allows information to go from the STSS to the STM?
Paying attention, and selecting attention
60
What allows information to go from the STM to the LTM?
Repetition or rehearsal mostly
