Document Summary
"i must move the patient to their strong side" Usually viewed as the persistence of acquired knowledge or capability for action. Important in the process of motor skill acquisition and performance. There are limits to memory which are important in teaching. Declarative knowledge- the knowledge of facts, rules and strategies. Procedural knowledge- the motor skills and clinical reasoning. Implicit motor learning (procedural knowledge) is independent of working memory which allows resources to be available for assessment and decision making. Explicit motor learning (declarative knowledge) depends on working memory, therefore a multiple task demand is likely to overload the performer and disrupt performance. 4 +/- 2 digits (chunks) (used to be considered to be 7) Compares past experiences and involved in shaping responses. Issues of forgetting relate to organisation and recall rather than storage. Process necessary for temporarily storing and manipulating information. Keep things in mind while processing complex tasks. Storage and retrieval between short and long term memory.
