recognition schema
The schema theory, which describes how knowledge is acquired, processed and organized was first created in the early 1900s. However, Robert Schmidt proposed the schema theory of discrete motor learning in 1975 to explain how individuals learn and perform discrete perceptual motor skills. Discrete motor skills are typically performed during a short time period and involve using one's senses to understand what is happening and then using the body to react. The body takes normal actions and creates a motor program that is then used by the body to perform similar actions or recall an appropriate program for a new action. Schmidt suggested that in order to perform a skill three things are needed: a generalized motor program, recall schema and recognition schema. A student is working on shooting a basketball into a goal. The student makes the attempt, shoots the ball and misses. The student then considers factors of the shot such as how the movement felt, the accuracy of the angle, and whether she needed more or less height and distance. If the student was going to attempt the shot again, which of the following would be used to make adjustments to the generalized motor program?
generalized motor program
