Document Summary
Ol refers to the process of modifying our thoughts, attitudes and behaviour as a result of watching a demonstration, whether through video feedback of the self or by observing others. Athletes use observational learning for both cognitive and motivational functions. Athletes use ol for two cognitive functions: skill (athletes acquire info about skills they are learning) and strategy (athletes acquire info about strategies, game plans and routines) Motivational function termed the performance function (athletes acquire info about optimal arousal levels and mental states for performance) Research using the folq has found that athletes most frequently use ol for skill, then strategy and finally performance functions.
