KPER 1200 FINAL EXAM PREP QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS COMPLETE PRACTICE
RESOURCE
●● Generalized Transfer
Answer: for performances that are more varied where the end conditions
are more unpredictable
two types: near transfer and far transfer
Near: practice situation will closely mimic performance situation, but
conditions are still varied (eg, jumpshot)
Far: is where there are similarities yet is till very far away from real
situations (eg, phys ed class, just trying to develop multiple skills, kid
throwing overhand vs pro pitcher)
●● Bilateral Transfer
Answer: Also known as:
1) Intermanual transfer
2) Cross-transfer
3) Cross-education
,Learning with one limb will help your performance with the other limb
Better than no practice at all, but not as good as if you practice with the
other limb
●● Is bilateral transfer symmetric or asymmetric?
Answer: Asymmetric, one is better at learning than the other
More transfer from the dominant hand to non-dominant, also helps with
motivation as performance will be better.
●● Why does bilateral transfer occur?
Answer: Cognitive Explanation
Motor Explanation
●● Cognitive Explanation
Answer: Problem solved on first limb already, figured out the movement
• Know what to do
• Able to move directly to the next stage of learning
●● Motor Explanation
,Answer: Generalized Motor Program Theory
-Limbs you use is a parameter, program is invarient
Dynamical Systems Theory
-Coordination pattern that occurs in first limb transfers over
●● How transfer occurs
Answer: GMP
-Muscles are a parameter
Dynamic Pattern Theory
• Coordination pattern is: effector independent
-Transferring more stable pattern to other limb
• Example: relative phase arms versus legs
●● Skill Acquisition
Answer: Practice most important thing
●● Basic Principles of Practice
Answer: • Practice must be deliberate
• What is practice?
• Practice ≠ repetition
, Practice is not just repeating the solution to a motor problem, but the act
of finding the solution to that problem multiple times, must be deliberate
Goal: solve the problem
Practice: solving the problem
• Specificity of Learning
What you learn depends on what you practice, practicing in a certain
location will also improve your performance in that location, sensory
info during practice must match sensory info in performance
●● Learning vs performance during practice
Answer: Dont care about how well you perform during practice, only
during performance
●● Benefits of Practice
Answer: i. Perceptual skills
ii. Attention
iii. Motor Programs
iv. Error Detection
●● Perceptual Skills
Answer: • Pick up key information sooner
