Motor Learning is ...
the study of the processes involved in acquiring and refining skills
understanding how the heart works as a motor for the body
the field of study concerned with understanding changes in motor control
understanding movement sequences and movement strategies
Tactical Awareness is ...
using constraints to make the opposition team play worse
making a plan b in case plan a does not work, specifically in a sporting context, to bring success
knowing what is happening around you and what options are available (affordances), then selecting a motor sequence that will be successful
Affordances are ...
the act of taking away room for error, creating more success
environmental characteristics that offer opportunity for action
weighing up the costs of an action during a movement sequence
the amount of positive actions performed during a movement sequence
Technical ability is ...
a way of thinking technically to improve a movement sequence
being able to critique your own movement sequence
the level to which a specialised movement sequence has been refined in order to produce consistently successful outcomes
An invasion game is ...
a game where the main objective is to evade the opposition

setting up attack
defending against attack
creating, defending, and exploiting space

Individual constraints are ...
the unique mental and physical abilities of the individual that affect their decision-making movement patterns, and that can be displayed during performance
something that you can wear during gameplay to prevent injuries
the ability to show leadership when your team is trailing on the scoreboard
specific plays during gameplay that can affect your confidence
Which options are examples of individual constraints?
gravity
a players fitness level
a players decision-making skills
the height of the net in a volleyball match
Task constraints are ...
findings shortcuts to bend the rules and gain an advantage over the opposition
the environment or situational factors that affect decision-making skills during performance
the rules, equipment, and goal of an activity that limit the decision-making and movement patterns that can be displayed by an individual during performance
Which option is not an example of a task constraint?
the height of the net in a volleyball game
the heat of the sun in a tennis match
the double-dribble rule in basketball
only 13 players allowed on the field in Rugby League
Environmental constraints are ...
the social or situational factors that limit the decision-making and movement patterns during gameplay
the internal and mental battles that limit the decision-making and movement during gameplay
the measurable fitness of athletes (strength, speed, aerobic capacity, flexibility)
Which options are examples of environmental constraints?
societal expectation (e.g. the expectation that players will be rugby players in New Zealand)
gravity
auditory feedback
terrain
What are the 3 stages of learning (in the correct order) according to Fitts and Posner's stages of learning?
Associative --> Cognitive --> Autonomous
Beginner --> Intermediate --> Expert
Autonomous --> Associative --> Cognitive
Cognitive --> Associative --> Autonomous
Which option is the best definition of the cognitive systems approach?
how much you train determines how good you play on gameday
information processing approach - how the human body adapts and learns to process information during learning
how quick you are able to react to split-second decisions in games
learning a skill from a young age to become competent at that skill later on in life
Which stage of learning would a professional basketball player that plays in the NBA be?
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
Which stage of learning would a first-time golfer be when performing a golf swing for the first time?
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
The Dynamic Systems approach to motor learning can be described as ...
similar to a computer processing information - learning as a result of feedback
the environment and the task are equally important parts of the system of learning
the isolation of one specific skill in a movement sequence that is practiced in long periods of time until competent
multiple solutions to the same situational problem
Which options are examples of a dynamic systems approach to learning?
participating in game situation drills to reflect game day constraints
not separating skills from gameplay practice, promoting holistic learning in training
isolating a skill such as passing an AFL ball, and practicing that skill repeatedly until competent
removing a constraint from a gameplay situation to help players improve on one specific skill
The dynamic systems approach to motor learning requires the learner to adapt their motor responses in accordance with variations in the task, themselves, and the environment to provide a successful solution to the problem or challenge
