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 new patterns of coordination. Initial demonstration should be entirely, then focus on small details. Still pictures to represent specific aspects of a movement. Explain how the demonstration will proceed and what to watch for. Design the demonstrations so the outcome is eliminated. Demonstrate for both right and left limb dominance. Depends on learner skill level and the task complexity. Learner tries to solve a movement problem by exploring various task solutions. Step-by-step process that leads to the discovery of a concept or principle. Practitioners asks questions, each of which has a single correct response. An understanding of why the technique is used.
