Questions and Answers

What are two effective strategies for increasing the meaningfulness of movements required to perform a skill?

    Study Notes

    Memory Strategies in Motor Skill Learning

    • Visual metaphoric imagery as a memory strategy involves creating a mental picture of a movement.
    • Instructors should use metaphors familiar to learners, such as imagining picking an apple to learn swimming movements.
    • Research by Nordin and Cumming showed the beneficial use of metaphoric imagery by dancers for complex dance skills.
    • Attaching meaningful verbal labels to movements has been shown to improve retention performance, as demonstrated by John Shea's study.
    • Useful verbal labels attached to positioning movements can make young children's retention performance equivalent to that of adults.
    • Visual metaphoric imagery and verbal labels aid the learning of complex motor skills by reducing complexity and changing abstract movements to concrete, meaningful ones.
    • They also direct attention to the outcome of the movements, enhancing skill performance, and speed up the movement planning process.
    • Intentional memory situations, where participants know they will be tested later, lead to better remembering than incidental memory situations.
    • However, retention test performance in the incidental situation is typically better than if no previous experience with the test movements had occurred.
    • Research indicates that we encode and store more information than we are consciously aware of, and advance knowledge about a test can enhance memory performance and skill learning.
    • Memory performance and skill learning can be enhanced by telling students in advance that they will be tested on a skill later, leading to increased effort during practice.
    • Subjective organization, involving grouping or organizing information in a meaningful way, is a frequently used memory strategy by learners for large amounts of information.
