HKIN 215 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Ogive, Motor Learning, Motor Skill
Document Summary
Performance and learning: general performance characteristics of skill learning. Performance curves: for out come measures, for kinematics, factors that impact the shape of performance curves. Objectives: distinguish performance from learning, define motor learning. Identify the 6 general performance characteristics of skill learning: describe performance curves. Identify the factors that affect the shape of performance curves: describe methods to assess motor skill learning. Performance: observable behaviour, temporary- can vary from one attempt to the next, one day to the next, etc, may not be due to practice, may be influenced by performance variables (factors that affect perfor- mance, motivation, arousal, fatigue. Inferred from performance: not observable, relatively permanent, due to practice, not influenced by performance variables. 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 experi- ence.
