When sub-routines are combined, they create a ...
Motor program
Motor reflex
Closed motor skill
Discrete skill
Distributed practice is:
implemented in ensure task representation occurs
where the athlete is given minimal time for feedback between practice attempts
similar to part practice
when a skill is practiced with periods of rest that are equal to or longer than periods spent training
The dynamic systems approach suggests that motor skills are learnt and carried out dynamically in response to certain variables known as constraints. The three types of constraints include:
task constraints, cognitive constraints, individual constraints
self-organisation constraints, environmental constraints, learner constraints
cognitive constraints, associative constraints, autonomous constraints
individual constraints, task constraints, environmental constraints
A motor skills is:
the same as a motor reflex
an involuntary movement
a voluntary movement
a complex movement
Which of the following motor skills is the most closed?
practicing shooting hoops against a single defender in basketball
running in a 100 metre relay race
taking a free kick in a soccer match
returning a serve in a tennis final
At which stage of the information processing model does parallel processing take place?
Stimulus identification
Stimulus execution
Response selection
Response execution
Skipping with a skipping rope is a …
continuous motor skill
discrete motor skill
serial motor skill
open motor skill
The cognitive systems approach involves:
input of information to the brain, processing of information followed by execution of movement
close alignment with Fitts and Posner’s stages of learning
a more traditional approach
all of the above
Motor learning is:
a process of acquiring and refining skills
the stages of learning
a process to provide feedback
the ability of an individual to perform skills in unpredictable environments
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of motor skill learning?
Consistency
Improvement
Stability
Variability
Lacking the confidence to attempt a handstand walk is an example of what type of rate limiter?
Physical
Perceptual
Psychological
Technical
The dynamic systems approach views motor learning as:
an organised process
a complex, unpredictable and constantly changing process - movements are coordinated and controlled through non-linear interactions between all parts of the body
an individual constraint and a rate limiter
hierarchical and linear - the brain passing commands down to the muscles and nerves in a pre-determined order
