Flashcards

Manual guidance's effect on retention

High frequency manual guidance improves performance but hinders retention.

Unassisted practice importance

Unassisted practice is critical for lasting improvement and learning.

Passive movement feedback

Passive guidance reduces learner focus and prevents self-correction.

Limited manual guidance

Use manual guidance strategically, sparingly, and only when absolutely necessary.

Study Notes

Assisted vs. Unassisted Movements

  • Assisted movements produce different feedback compared to unassisted movements.
  • Learners are less attentive when passively guided through a movement.
  • Manual guidance limits learners' ability to correct their own movements.

Implications for Practice

  • Practitioners should use manual guidance sparingly.
  • Research shows high frequency manual guidance improves performance but reduces retention.
  • Studies show performance improvements are temporary with frequent manual guidance.

Exceptions and Considerations

  • Manual guidance can be helpful in specific situations:
    • Injury prevention
    • Developing basic skill understanding
    • Ensuring safety
  • Unassisted practice should be introduced as quickly as possible.
