KNES 385 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Motor Learning, Discovery Learning, Motor Skill
Document Summary
Feedback from external source (can maximize amount of learning) Demonstration: modeling- you perform the task and then someone copies you. Beside practice, feedback is the single most important variable for motor learning. Feedback comes in 2 general forms: task intrinsic feedback. Natural information that is naturally available during task. You can se it: augmented feedback. Additional information that comes from external sources (coach or teacher) Externally presented information about the outcome of the action, usually in relation to the task: dart- sees that you hit it 2 cm away. Hard to adjust error if there is no kr and nonsense kr: right/wrong kr and precise kr helps. Information about the characteristics of the movement performed usually in relation to a task goal: dart- released dart too late, process measures. To facilitate achievement of task goals/learning of motor skill. Less effective if task intrinsic feedback is available and robust.
