HMB200H1 Lecture Notes - Motor Learning, Power Law, Motor Skill
Document Summary
Know about types of specificity and how they influence motor performance and learning: highly specific tests for different skills. Know the types of goals and how to optimize goal-setting for skill acquisition. Understand why you need to take a dedicated course on motivational psychology. Be able to synthesize models of motor learning and the associated stages of skill acquisition. Motor learning motor learning is a set of processes associated with practice or experience leading to relatively permanent changes in the capability for movement. Midterm is a accurate prediction of final grade. However, a better prediction of learning would be to have the exam at the end of the year after a long delay. May consolidate separate skills into a single one forget individual (easier) parts. To explain how someone is learning/acquiring a skill (in a mathematical model) have log number of trials against the log scale.
