Study Notes
Theories of Motor Skills and Abilities
Fitts and Posner's Three-Stage Model
- The cognitive stage involves understanding the task and developing a mental representation
- In the associative stage, focus shifts to refining movements and reducing errors through practice
- In the autonomous stage, movements become automatic and require minimal conscious effort
Gentile's 2-Stage Model
- The initial stage involves understanding the nature of the task and developing a movement pattern
- The later stage emphasizes refinement of movements and adaptability to different conditions
Schmidt's Schema Theory
- Schema theory proposes an abstract memory representation for events (open loop schema)
- Generalized motor program rules allow for the generation of novel movements
- Rapid, ballistic movements involve recalling memory with motor programs and parameters to carry out movement without peripheral feedback
- Variability of practice improves motor learning, and error production is beneficial for learning
- Schema has rules for all stored elements, not just the correct ones
Motor Learning and Control Theory
- This theory focuses on how individuals acquire and refine motor skills through practice and experience
- Principles involved include practice variability, feedback, and transfer of learning
- Variability of practice allows individuals to adapt to different situations
- Feedback can be intrinsic (from personal experience) or extrinsic (from external sources or equipment)
- Effective feedback provides information on how to improve a movement or action
- The goal is for the skills learned during practice to be transferable to different contexts
Ecological Dynamics Theory
- This theory emphasizes the interaction between an individual and their environment during motor skill acquisition
- It highlights the importance of perception, action, and the environment working together for effective skill development
Information Processing Theory
- Developing motor skills involves encoding, storing, and retrieving data
- Perception, memory, and attention are key components of motor skill acquisition
- Feedback is a crucial element of the incremental process of ongoing learning and assessment
- Providing frequent and ongoing feedback is essential for improving achievement in learning
