KNS 290 Study Guide - Final Guide: Jerky, General Idea, Advantageous
Document Summary
Observable behavior: rapid and relatively large gains in performance, halting, jerky, uncertain, and poorly timed movements, heavy reliance on instructions and demonstrations, self-talk about what to do or what strategy to use, self-talk as verbal guidance during performance. Observable behavior: movements become quicker and smoother and look less rushed, performance becomes more efficient, improvements are less dramatic. 3: self-talk is reduced or stopped, performance stabilizes (becomes more consistent, may be able to critique performance, especially as it relates to specific details of the skill, may detect and correct errors without any external feedback. What the learner is doing: devoting little attention to performance. Observable behavior: movements may look effortless or automatic, performer can devote attention to secondary tasks, improvements are very subtle and sometimes not detectable. Instructional support: expert coaching is recommended, self-talk or self-analysis can lead to degraded performance, secondary tasks can be used to assess attentional demands, practice should closely represent demands of target context when possible.
