Document Summary

A relatively permanent change in the performance levels of a motor task as the result of practice. A set of motor responses integrated into an organized pattern. Consequence of training and practice: fast output of high quality, ease and smoothness of movement, anticipation of variation in the stimulus, can make a choice of responses once. Input variables: understanding the environment: state of performer: motivation, maturation , nature of practice, massed or distributed, whole or in parts. Muscle movements should be smooth and coordinated. Motor skills that have clearly defined beginning and end points. The performer or some external force determines the beginning and end. What are the three time intervals associated with kr: cognitive stage, associative stage, autonomous stage. Performer needs to understand what needs to be done. Performer concerned with which movement to make rather than how to make them. Performer can reproduce reasonable approximations of the movement. Learning to use proprioceptive rather than visual information.
