Document Summary
Concept: distinct performance and performer characteristics change during skill learning. People progress through distinct stages (phases) as they learn a motor skill. I. e. as they progress from being a beginner to being highly skilled. Two models proposed to identify and describe the stages. Fitts and posner proposed motor skill learning involves three stages. Cognitive stage: beginner focuses on solving cognitively- oriented problems. Associative stage: person has learned to associate cues from the environment with required movements; works to refine performance to be more consistent. Autonomous stage: final stage where performance of the skill is automatic (in terms of attention demanded) Gentile proposed motor skill learning progresses through two stages: Movement coordination pattern to enable some degree of success achieving action goal. Learn to discriminate between regulatory and non- regulatory conditions in environmental context. Adapting movement pattern acquired in initial stage to demands of any performance situation. Performer and performance changes across the stages of learning.
