Document Summary
Freezing (a) and freeing (b) the degrees of freedom. For the arm and racket during a racquetball kill shot. As proficiency develops the need to attend consciously to each aspect of the movement decreases. Learner can focus on other factors of performance. Skilled performers direct attention to relevant areas. Beginners have difficulty discriminating between relevant and irrelevant cues. Dual-task performing two tasks simultaneously and very well. Ex: a teacher designs a drill in which two beginner soccer players pair up; one dribbles the ball to the other end of the field while avoiding the other player. Ineffective because they might be paying more attention to one another then the skill. Better way of teaching the skill would get them familiar with the ball and give each one a ball. Accomplished performers have more knowledge about a skill. Procedural - what to do in a given situation. When to pass over net vs passing to set up an attack.
