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
