    Study Notes

    Theories of Motor Learning

    • Fitts and Posner's (1967) three stages of motor learning: cognitive, associative, and autonomous
    • Adams' (1971) closed-loop theory: feedback and error correction
    • Schmidt's (1975) schema theory: motor programs and schemas

    Stages of Motor Development

    • Maturation: genetically determined, age-related changes in motor abilities
    • Exercise and practice stage: refinement of motor skills through deliberate practice
    • Specialization stage: development of specific motor skills for a particular sport or activity

    Whole and Part Methods

    • Whole method: learning a motor skill as a whole, focusing on overall performance
    • Part method: breaking down a motor skill into smaller components, practicing each part separately
    • Combination of whole and part methods: teaching a motor skill in parts, then combining to perform the whole skill
