What is the cognitive stage of learning in Fitts and Posner’s model?
It’s the first stage where the performer is a beginner, making frequent errors and needing help to understand the skill.
What type of feedback is most important in the cognitive stage?
Extrinsic feedback, especially knowledge of results (KR), to tell the performer whether they succeeded.
Why is immediate feedback important in the cognitive stage?
It helps reinforce correct movements and prevents incorrect techniques from becoming habits.
What types of guidance are most effective in the cognitive stage?
Visual guidance (demonstrations), verbal guidance (simple instructions), and manual/mechanical guidance (physical support).
How does guidance help in the cognitive stage?
It builds understanding of the skill and helps form the basic motor programs.
What is the autonomous stage in Fitts and Posner’s model?
The final stage where the performer is highly skilled, consistent, and performs movements automatically.
What type of feedback is most useful in the autonomous stage?
Intrinsic feedback, along with knowledge of performance (KP) for refining movement quality.
What types of guidance are most effective in the autonomous stage?
Verbal guidance (tactical or technical), and video analysis for performance refinement.
Why is detailed feedback helpful in the autonomous stage?
Skilled performers can handle complex feedback and use it to make fine technical adjustments.
How does guidance help in the autonomous stage?
It supports ongoing improvement, helps maintain motivation, and enables fine-tuning of performance.
