Document Summary
Performance: the behavioral act of performing a skill at a specific time and in a specific situation. Learning: a change in the capability of a person to perform a skill; it must be inferred from a relatively permanent improvement in performance as a result of practice or experience. Performance variables (b) give an example of this. Improvement, consistency, persistence, adaptability (b) briefly explain the underlying concepts of each. Improvement: the person performs at a higher level of skill at some later time than at some previous time. Consistency: from one performance attempt to another a person"s performance characteristics should become more similar. Persistence: as the person progresses in learning the skill, the improved performance capability lasts over increasing periods of time. Improvement: performance of the skill shows improvement over a period of time. Persistence: the improved performance capability is marked by an increasing amount of persistence.
