Document Summary
Nerve cells that fir when: we perform an action, we watch someone else perform the same action. The neural mechanism through which observational learning occurs. Dynamic interpretation of modeling: learner perceives key information directly. Coordination vs. control: learners benefit from demonstrations that focus on a new pattern of coordination. Entire vs. partial: initial demonstration should be entirety, then focus on small details. Real time vs. slow motion: frame of reference. Use an appropriate formation: setup around practitioner that facilitates learning, could be in a large circle, a semi circle, in rows (like a classroom) Explain how the presentation will proceed and what to watch for. When designing a demonstration: watch me do this focuses their attention on what"s important. Avoid product options: design the demonstration so the outcome is eliminated. Demonstrate for both right- and left-limb dominance. When: several times before practicing, interspersed throughout practice period. How often: depends on learner"s skill level and task"s complexity.
