extrinsic feedback and observational learning

A coach tells a player the correct way to inbound a basketball from the sideline; at the same time the coach is demonstrating how to throw the ball inbound in a gamelike situation. What is taking place?

knowledge of results (KR) and extrinsic feedback

After Tommy slid into home plate, he heard the umpire yell, "Safe!" What type of knowledge was expressed by the umpire?

a test of accuracy immediately after practice for accuracy

All of the following examine learning (rather than performance) EXCEPT

throwing

Boys and girls are similar in motor skill performance during childhood EXCEPT in which of the following skills (in which the sex difference is substantial)?

outcome; process of movement

Knowledge of results focuses on ____________, whereas knowledge of performance focuses on ___________.

motor performance

Motor behavior includes three subdisciplines. Which is NOT one of the subdisciplines?

True

Motor behavior research is closely related to biomechanics.

False

Practice guarantees improved performance.

learning

Practicing a skill is most likely to bring about which of the following?

motor expertise

Research on ___________ often compares novices and experts to determine how they differ within various sports. For example, researchers want to determine why some children are more advanced performers than adults attempting the same skill.

maturity

The changes produced by physical growth present all of the following challenges EXCEPT

potential treatments of disease and injury, including Parkinson's disease

The focus of motor behavior research today includes

practice

The type of performance experience engaged in for the express purpose of refining motor control function to improve skill is

World War II (1939-1945)

This time period is considered one of the greatest eras of interest in motor behavior.

feedback, practice, transfer

What are some environmental conditions that might affect learning in sport?

University motor behavior courses don't make use of laboratory experiences because there is no need for them anymore.

What is NOT true about motor behavior research?

Set a goal that requires moderate effort to achieve.

What is the best way to set goals to achieve the best results?

between-group design

Which experimental design used in motor behavior research compares two or more groups exposed to different interventions but tests them using the same task?

The brain is like a computer or central processing unit, while the spinal cord is the wiring, and the muscles make the output via the printer or screen.

Which of the following describes the information processing model?

ample appropriate practice opportunities

Which of the following is most critical in helping students develop skills?

extrinsic feedback

While his players are working out, a coach notices a mistake in an athlete's form. The coach tells the player what might work better and how to do it. What type of feedback is the coach giving the player?

Franklin Henry

Who was the father of motor behavior?
