Conceptualising Motor Learning

What are the two closely associated aspects that need to be focused on in relation to learning?

• Conceptualization and measurement

• Evaluation and implementation

• Analysis and synthesis

• Observation and experimentation

What is the critical point mentioned in the text regarding measuring learning?

• Learning cannot be directly measured

• Learning is always observable

• Learning is a one-time event

• Learning is a simple process

Which type of learning is associated with the association between two stimuli or consequences?

• Cognitive learning

• Social learning

• Classical conditioning

• Operant conditioning

In classical conditioning, what is an example of an unconditioned stimulus for a dog?

• Food

• Bell ringing

• Salivation

• Steel bar noise

What is the key difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning?

• Classical conditioning is involuntary, while operant conditioning is voluntary

• Classical conditioning involves rewards, while operant conditioning involves punishments

• Classical conditioning associates two stimuli, while operant conditioning associates behavior with consequences

• Classical conditioning is used for animals, while operant conditioning is used for humans

• Positive reinforcement

What is the term used for decreasing the frequency of a behavior by introducing something unpleasant?

• Negative punishment

• Positive reinforcement

What is the common explanation for the development of fears and phobias?

• Lack of exposure to stimuli

• Social learning from peers

• Genetic predisposition

• Association of events with unpleasant consequences

What is the key consideration mentioned in the text regarding learning plateaus?

• Plateaus are temporary setbacks

• Some tasks have ceilings where improvement is not possible

• Plateaus indicate a lack of effort

• Plateaus are a sign of rapid learning

What is the term used for the process of ensuring that learning is applicable in different contexts?
