It means measuring the skill i.e. archery score, more accurately hitting a target. There should be a decrease in errors.

are used following a delay in practice to determine if permanent learning has occurred.

the individual is able to reliably produce the result

The ability to perform a similar movement, within a different context in which it was initially learnt is tested (transfer) i.e. changing the amount of force or surface, location.

1. John increased an amount of _________ and is related to improved capabilities; however, the process of optimal learning is not clear-cut so the amount, type, dose and frequency must be individualized depending on learning capabilities

The frequency of______________ provided by the clinician can be during, or after the task is completed

the process by which the action or motor skill is performed by another individual that is then reproduced by the patient

Using an external focus of attention allows the process of learning to happen more quickly, and can result in better performance by allowing the patient to develop their own strategies for movement

The main objective of motor learning is to make a permanent change in the neurological functions which happen in the _______

1. This means that how much an athlete has learned is an unknown

factor from an outsider’s perspective because motor learning takes place inside the learner’s brain and the muscular movements are only a reflection of brain activities. Observing motor performance provides only an indirect assessment of the learning progress of a learner.

the purpose of reaching specific learning objectives. Obviously, different types of learning will produce different results and sports scientists continuously search for the best motor learning processes for particular motor skills based on individual differences.

Once a motor skill is learned, it becomes ____________and will not be easily forgotten. For example, once an individual has learned how to ride a bike, he/she will never forget how to do it (Schmidt & Wrisberg, 2008).

the study of postures and movements and the mechanisms that underlie them

refers to the continuous, age-related process of change in movement, as well as the interacting constraints (or factors) in the individual, environment, and task that drive these changes

is an end result or outcome of executing a motor skill that can be observed from an external perspective.

The following are components that contribute to motor performance except one

age, gender, experience, cognitive ability, genetic traits are examples of

sports science background, athletic experience, knowledge of sport, administration and communication skill, human relation skills, etc.) are examples

Undistractive learning environment, facility and equipment, sports field and settings, organization of training are examples of

The main objective of motor learning to make a permanent change in the ___________________ functions.

It refers to a technique, body posture, movement pattern, process of movement, or structure of movement, which can be only evaluated by subjective approaches.

Ballet and other forms of dance involve artistic, beautiful, and swift ______________that usually take years to perfect. In fact, many dancing movements are very difficult to learn and master.

In ____________ youngsters are taught basic motor skills such as kicking, throwing, jumping, running, catching, or climbing and these learned skills can then be transferred to various sports-related movements in the future.

the purpose of motor learning is to achieve peak performance in competition.

Learning proper motor skills is one of the most important objectives of physical education programs in school settings. This is based in what theory?

Practitioners regularly have to face challenges and solve practical problems they may experience

they gain their knowledge either through scientific approaches or from real-life experiences through trial and error approaches

Any knowledge they gain based on their experience must be validated through scientific methods and then the knowledge gained can become theory.

With a thorough knowledge of motor learning, exercise and sports science professionals can effectively help their clients design _________ programs that incorporate the ideal
