Document Summary
Many learners pass through distinct phases while practicing a skill : cognitive, fixation, autonomous. The learner determine the appropriate strategies (rely on working memory) Effective strategies are retained, inappropriate ones are discarded. Performance gains here are greatest compared with all stages. Practice techniques involved in this stage that are most effective: Gains (improvements) seen in this stage are verbal-cognitive in nature. Begins once the individual determined the most effective way of doing the task. Little to no trace of verbal aspects. The learner enters this stage after many months/years of practice. The task can be performed with no interference from other ongoing activities. Allows the person to process information from other aspects of the task (form and style of movement) All movements are made by comparing ongoing feedback from the limbs to a perceptual trace. Kr creates the appropriate situations so the actual learning process can operate. According to adams, too many errors can be harmful to learning.
