PSYO 310 Final exam || with 100% Verified Solutions.
Skill correct answers an ability that can improve over time through practice
perceptual-motor skill correct answers learned movement patterns guided by sensory inputs
cognitive skill correct answers a skill that requires problem solving or the application of
strategies
closed skill correct answers a skill that involves performing predefined movements that, ideally,
never vary
open skill correct answers a skill in which movements are made on the basis of predictions about
changing demands of the environment
Mostly open: balancing a ball on one's nose requires continuous feedback correct answers open
or closed skill?
A sea lion balancing a ball
Mostly closed: swimming movements are predefined, and inputs are stable correct answers open
or closed skill?
A young girl swimming
Mostly open if skilled: kissing requires continuous feedback correct answers open or closed
skill?
A young man kissing
Mostly open: fishing requires accurate prediction of changing inputs correct answers open or
closed skill?
A bear catching a fish
Depends on the fish and the insect. Mostly closed if the insect falls into the water; mostly open if
the insect lives underwater correct answers open or closed skill?
A fish catching insects
Depends on the type of music. Most closed if classical; mostly open if jazz correct answers open
or closed skill?
A boy playing piano
Mostly closed: dart-throwing movements are predefined, and inputs are stable correct answers
open or closed skill?
A young woman playing darts
knowledge of results correct answers feedback about performance of a skill; critical to the
effectiveness of practice
, power law of practice correct answers a law stating that the degree to which a practice trial
improves performance diminishes after a certain point, so that additional trials are needed to
further improve the skill; learning occurs quickly at first, then slows
massed practice correct answers concentrated, continuous practice of a skill
spaced practice correct answers practice of a skill that is spread out over several sessions
constant practice correct answers practice involving a constrained set of materials and skills
variable practice correct answers practice involving the performance of skills in a wide variety of
contexts
explicit learning correct answers a learning process that includes the ability to verbalize about the
actions or events being learned
implicit learning correct answers Learning that occurs without the learner's awareness of
improvements in performance or, in the case of people with amnesia, awareness that practice has
occurred.
serial reaction time task correct answers an experimental task that requires individuals to press
keys in specific sequences on the basis of cues provided by a computer; used to study implicit
learning
motor programs correct answers a sequence of movements that an organism can perform
automatically (with minimal attention)
cognitive stage correct answers The first stage in Fitts's model of skill learning; in this stage, an
individual must exert some effort to encode the skill on the basis of information gained through
observation, instruction, and trial and error.
associative stage correct answers The second stage in Fitts's model of skill learning; in this stage,
learners begin using stereotyped actions when performing a skill and rely less on actively
recalled memories of rules.
autonomous stage correct answers The third stage in Fitts's model of skill learning; in this stage,
a skill or subcomponents of the skill become motor programs.
talent correct answers a person's genetically endowed ability to perform a skill better than most
rotary pursuit task correct answers an experimental task that requires individuals to keep the end
of a pointed stick (stylus) above a fixed point on a rotating disk; used to study perceptual-motor
skill learning
skill decay correct answers loss of a skill because of non-use
