Definition of skill - ANSWERA skill is an ability that comes from knowledge, aptitude and
practice to do something well
Definition of motor program - ANSWERA motor program is a series of skills put together
Definition of motor skill - ANSWERMotor Skills are individual skills in a performance. A
motor skill is any activity involved in moving the body to achieve a specific goal
What is important when teaching new motor programs? - ANSWER"closing" up the skill
to make it easier, predictable and self-paced. In order to do this you may need to make
equipment more visible, using appropriate language, making the sport more stimulating,
using past experiences to learn new skills
What is motor ability - ANSWERMotor Ability is an ability that is specifically related to
the performance of a motor skill.
this is why some people are able to "learn" some skills more quickly than others, or
have potential for higher performance despite similar training
Definition of an "open" skill - ANSWERMotor skills are skills that are performed in an
environment which is constantly changing and externally paced. Eg; playing an outdoor
soccer game, surfing
Definition of a "closed" skill - ANSWERMotor skills are skills that are performed in a
predictable, self paced environment (easy) Eg; Darts, indoor bowls
Fine motor skill - ANSWERMotor skills which involve the use of smaller muscles and
result in very small and controlled movements. Eg; piano, archery
Gross motor skill - ANSWERMotor skills which involve the use of large muscle groups
resulting in stronger, and more powerful coordinated movement. Eg; using the
quadriceps (4 muscles joined together) - high jump, long jump
Discrete motor skills - ANSWERMovement of a brief duration, having a distinct
beginning and end. Eg; throwing and kicking a ball, a shot put, discus or javelin throw,
or a somersault
Serial motor skills - ANSWERA group of discrete skills put together to create
complicated and skilled action. Eg; The sequence of skills for the triple jump, bowling in
cricket
, Continuous motor skills - ANSWERNo distinct beginning or end. These are generally
movements that require the same movement to be repeated. Eg; running, swimming
The Open to Closed continuum - ANSWERMotor or movement skills can be classified
on a continuum. A continuum is a range or sliding scale between two extreme points.
Each point on a continuum is slightly greater or lesser than its neighbors. The more
open a skill is, the higher it will be on a continuum. The more closed a skill is, the lower
the skill will be on the continuum.
Why skills should be first taught in a closed environment - ANSWERAt the beginning
the skill should be taught in a closed environment to make it easier to learn for a
beginner. The more you open up a skill, the more game like it is.
Three stages of learning - ANSWERcognitive, associative, autonomous
Cognitive stage of learning - ANSWERThe first stage of learning. Involves players who
usually make many errors which produces highly varied results. The learner should only
spend a few attempts in the cognitive stage before developing an understanding for the
skill and moving on to the associative stage. The skill should be closed to give the
beginner an easy way of learning.
The cognitive learner requires simple feedback and instruction, nothing too complicated.
They should be taught the right technique.
Associative stage of learning - ANSWERAssociative- second stage of learning. Once
the performer grasps the mechanics of the skill and can execute it with few errors, they
are in the associative stage. The skill should then be opened up to better replicate a
game situation.
The associative learner requires demonstrations and more specific feedback to
improve. The coach should be 'refining' the skill rather than 'establishing' it.
Autonomous stage of learning - ANSWERFinal stage of learning. A performer at the
autonomous stage of learning can consistently achieve the desired result without
consciously thinking about the subroutine of the skill. It can be performed easily and
'automatically'. They pay attention to 'when to use the skill' rather than 'how to use the
skill'. The skill should be opened up fully at this stage.
The Autonomous learner must practice in competitive situations
stages of the Information processing model- input - ANSWERinformation received from
the senses
stages of the Information processing model- Information processing - ANSWERMaking
sense of the information and formulating an action in response
