20 terms
Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Feedback | afferent information sent by various sensory receptos to control centers. |
| Feedforward | readies the system in advance of movement; anticipatory responses that adjust the system for incoming sensory feedback or for future movements |
| Performance | determine overall quality of performance, level of automaticity, level of effort, speed of decision making. |
| Retention | the ability to demonstrate the skill after a period of no practice |
| Generalizability | acuired capability to apply what has been learned to other similiar tasks |
| Resistance to contextual change | acquired capability to apply what has been learned to other environmental contexts |
| Intrinstic feedback | sensory information normally acquired during performance of task |
| augmented feedback | externally presented feedback that is added to that normally acquired during task performance (verbal cueing) |
| knowledge of results | augmented feedback about the outcome of a movement |
| knowledge of performance | augmented feedback about the nature of the movement produced |
| feedback schedules | feedback given after every trial, feedback summed (after set number of trials), fading (decreasing), bandwith (if responses outside a designated range) |
| blocked practice | practice of a single motor skill repeatedly; repetitive practice |
| variable practice | practice of varied motor skills in which the performer is required to make rapid modifications of the skill in order to match the demands of the task |
| random practice | practice of a group or class of motor skils in random order |
| serial practice | practice of a group or class of motor skills in serial or predictable |
| massed practice | relatively continuous practice in which the amount of rest time is small |
| distributed practice | practice in which the rest time is relatively large |
| mental practice | cognitive rehearsal of a motor skill without overt physical performance |
| part-whole transfer | complex motor task is broken into components or subordinate parts for separate practice before practice of the integrated whole. |
| bilateral transfer | improvement in movement skill prformance with one limb results from practice of similar movements with the opposite limb. |
