Motor Learning revision

Which of the following is an example of a fine motor skill?

• Running
• Kicking a soccer ball
• writing with a pen
• jumping

According to the cognitive systems approach, what is the primary role of the brain in motor learning

• Executing pre-programmed movements
• Interpreting sensory information and making decisions
• Storing motor patterns in the muscles
• Enhancing muscle strength

Which concept is central to the dynamic systems approach in motor learning?

• Motor programs are stored in the brain
• Movements are coordinated and controlled through complex, non-linear interactions between all parts of the body.
• movement patterns emerge from the interaction of various subsystems
• Cognitive planning is the most important aspect of motor learning

In Fitts and Posner's three-stage model of motor learning, what characterizes the associative stage?

• High levels of cognitive effort
• Formation of basic movement patterns
• Refinement of movement skills with fewer errors
• automatic execution of skills

Which of the following best describes a rate limiter in motor learning?e is your favorite?

• A factor that enhances motor performance
• A constraint that prevents improvement in a specific skill
• A technique that speeds up motor learning
• A method of providing feedback to learners

Which type of feedback is most effective for a beginner learning a new motor skill?

• Intrinsic Feedback
• Delayed feedback
• Concurrent feedback
• summary feedback

Which practice method is most effective for learning a complex motor skill with many components

• Massed practice
• Distributed practice
• Blocked practice
• Random practice

In the constraints-led approach to motor learning, which of the following is considered an environmental constraint?

• The athlete's motivation
• The rules of the sport
• Pressure from the crowd
• The athlete's fitness level

During which stage of Fitts and Posner's model does a learner exhibit fluid and automatic movements with minimal cognitive effort?

• Cognitive stage
• Associative stage
• Autonomous stage
• Feedback stage

According to the dynamic systems approach, which of the following factors is least likely to be considered a control parameter?

• Speed of movement
• Speed of the playing area
• The athletes motivation
• Force applied during a movement
