PSYCH 240 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Semantic Network, Procedural Memory, Motor Program
Document Summary
Skill learning: three stages: cognitive, declarative knowledge. Commits facts to memory; memorize tips: constantly rehearsing as you try to perform. 3. requires, attention, you can not do a second task: teaching: independent of skill. Coach not the best player but good at teaching: associative, strengthen connections, eliminate errors. 2. improving -> associating mistakes with results feedback. Getting rid of actions that lead to errors: autonomous/automatic, fast. Don"t need to think too much or talk to yourself. 2. feedback less important: need for consistent practice. Example: golf: learn the basics by verbal instruction, practice components and see which one work -> components are strung together, continued practice produces automatic stroke production. Declarative: factual knowledge and info that a person knows. Procedural memory: represented by production rules, automatic association between certain conditions/actions -> if-then statement. Declarative knowledge: represented by a semantic network.
