Document Summary
Showing a learner a new skill facilitates learning more than explaining it. We watch someone else perform the same action. The neural mechanism through which observational learning occurs. When a learner observes modeling, the learner processes information and transforms it into a cognitive memory. Learners benefit from demonstrations that focus on a new pattern of coordination. Initial demonstration should be entirety, then focus on small details. Explain how the demonstration will proceed and what to watch for. Design the demonstration so the outcome is eliminated. Demonstrate for both right and left limb dominance. Depends on learner"s skill level and task"s complexity. Learner tries to solve a movement problem by exploring various solutions. Step-by-step process that leads to the discovery of a concept or principle. Practitioner asks questions, each of which has a single correct response. An understanding of why the technique is used. Practitioner or device moves the learner through a desired range of motion:
