Motor Learning- Ch. 18 Whole and Part Practice
A skill such as twisting the lid of a jar on to the jar is an example of an asymmetric bimanual coordination skill that would benefit from the simplification part-practice strategy
False
Research has shown that the segmentation part-practice strategy will facilitate the learning of a musical score on a piano
True
The use of a virtual reality environment is a good example of implementing a simplification strategy for learning a skill
True
what is fractionalization
a part task training method related to asymmetric coordination skills that involves practicing each arm or leg separately before performing them together
what is whole practice
a practice strategy that involves practicing a skill in its entirety
what is part practice
a practice strategy that involves practicing parts of a skill before practicing the whole skill
Which of the following describes a simplification strategy for helping people acquire a complex skill
all of these
fractionization includes skills requiring
asymmetric coordination of the arm and legs
If a skill should not be physically separated for part practice, an alternative means of achieving the benefits of part practice is to
direct you attention specifically to a part of the skill you are having difficulty with
If a motor skill is characterized by low level of organization, the component parts of the skill are spatially and temporally interdependent
false
The fractionization part-practice strategy is also referred to as the progressive-part strategy
false
When the term complexity is used to refer to a motor skill characteristic, it is synonymous with the term difficulty
false
if a part practice approach is used, the most appropriate strategy is
fractionalization
A drummer who has to learn to perform a piece of music that requires one hand to play a certain rhythm while the other hand plays a different rhythm, should practice according to the ___________ method
fractionization
The part practice strategy that seems especially applicable to helping a person learn an asymmetric bimanual coordination skill is the ________ method
fractionization
what is the three part task strategy
fractionization, segmentation, simplification
interdependent is where on the organizational scale
high
continuous skills use a
high level of complexity & high level of organization
serial skills use a
high level of complexity and varied level of organization
The simplification technique known as "miming" (is/ is not) a recommended procedure to facilitate learning a skill
is not
According to Naylor and Briggs hypothesis, whole practice of a motor skill is recommended for skills that are
low in task complexity and high in task organization
discrete skills use a
low level of complexity and a high level of organization
When related to motor skills, the term task complexity refers to the
number of components in the task
complexity involves the
number of parts & components of a task or the attention demands on a task
A motor skill that is low in task organization and high in task complexity should be practiced by the _______ method
part
if the skill is high in complexity and low in organization, what is the better choice
part practice
skill low in complexity and low in organization, which is best
part practice
if the skill is low in complexity & high in organization, what is the better choice
practice of the whole skill
what is part practice strategy
provides opportunity to focus attention to a specific component or feature of the skill
what is the whole practice strategy
provides opportunity to perform all the spatial-temporal coordination requirements of the skill
what is simplification
reduce skill difficulty by practicing an easier variation of the skill before practicing the skill, simplifies either the whole skill or parts of the skill
what can you alter during simplification
reducing object difficulty, reducing attention demands, reducing speed, adding auditory cues, sequencing skill progressions, simulation
organization is the
relationship between parts of a skill
If a part-practice strategy is recommended for practicing a skill, the parts of the skill that should be practiced separately from other parts are
relatively independent parts
An important benefit of the progressive-part practice method is that it helps to
restrict attention demands on the individual during practie
A progressive-part method of practicing a skill has also been called a _______ method of part-task training
segmentation
If you practiced juggling scarves before juggling tennis balls, the practice strategy you would be using is called the __________ method
simplification
Making a complex skill less difficult is know as the _________
simplification method
When related to motor skills, the term task organization refers to the
spatial-temporal relationships among the parts of the tash
a drawback of segmentation would be
that it could lead to difficulty to put parts together (does take advantage of both part & whole)
To learn an asymmetric bimanual skill in which one hand must perform a more difficult task than the other hand, the preferred practice approach for learning this skill is to practice
the more difficult task hand first, then the easier task hand
what is segmentation
the practice of segments of the motor skill separately
An important motor learning principle to apply to any part-practice strategy is that positive transfer should occur between the practiced parts and the performance of the whole skill
true
Before you determine whether to use a whole or part strategy to practice a skill, it is important to first do a task analysis to assess the complexity and organization characteristics of the skill
true
The term natural unit of parts of a skill describes a guideline for determining
which components of a skill should be grouped together to practice as parts
According to the experiment by Kapp and Dixon, to learn to juggle three objects, which is a complex task that is high in task organization, practice should engage the _________ method
whole
skill high in complexity and high in organization, which is best
whole practice
